or out of the bath?"
• The 94 year old yells back, "I don't know. I'll come up and
see." She starts up the stairs and pauses. "Was I going up
the stairs or down?"
• The 92 year old is sitting at the kitchen table listening to her
sisters. She shakes her head and says, "I sure hope I never
get that forgetful." She knocks on wood for good measure.
She then yells, "I'll come up and help both of you as soon as
I see who's at the door."

An elderly man in Phoenix called his son in New York and said, "I hate to ruin your day, but I have to tell you that your mother and I are divorcing; forty-five years of misery is enough.""Pop, what are you talking about?" the son screamed."We can't stand the sight of each other any longer," the old man said. "We're sick of each other, and I'm sick of talking about this, so you call your sister in Chicago and tell her," and he hung up.Frantic, the son calls his sister, who explodes on the phone. "Like heck they're getting divorced," she shouted, "I'll take care of this."She called Phoenix immediately, and screamed at the old man, "You are NOT getting divorced. Don't do a single thing until I get there. I'm calling my brother back, and we'll both be there tomorrow. Until then, don't do a thing, DO YOU HEAR ME?" and hung up.The old man hung up his phone and turned to his wife. "Okay," he said, "they're coming for Thanksgiving and paying their own fares.
Issues and challenges do not stop with retirement. Do what worked.
