A little long but fun....
Last night I went to visit my dad at the nursing home. He has a new room-mate who is quite loud and rude. He had his recliner halfway into my dads area of the room and was in the way of our visit. I asked him nicely if I could move his chair a little and he barked No at me. Just leave me alone.
OK...not a problem. We just pulled the curtain between the beds. He was clearly annoyed at our conversation with my dad so he turned the volume up on his tv. Hmmmmm, ok, whatever, well just speak louder then. So he swears and cranks it up again! Now no one can hear anything but his tv. His cell phone was ringing off the hook and he was having loud conversations with his buddies and cussing us out to them.
Enough is enough, right? I thought, what would happen if I used my dads remote to turn the room-mates tv down? Would it work? YES!!!! I freaked him out too. He cranks it up again, and again I turn it down from behind the curtain. I have my poor dad laughing so hard hes crying now. Room mate is now all ticked off at the tv because its acting up. He goes to crank it up again and turns the channel.
So I turn the channel back to the previous one. Now he summons the nurse to complain about his tv acting up. She gets the right channel tuned in for him and adjusts the volume. Hes still cussing at this time. Again he cranks up the volume and this time I turned his tv off on him!
Now I hear him on the phone with maintenance putting in a request to get it fixed!
Who knew you could have so much fun at a nursing home. My dad want us to come back tonight to play some more!!
