Old People Are Hilarious

I am currently the director of therapy at a nursing home in Texas. I have worked as a speech-language pathologist for over 3 years in the nursing home setting, and I have found during my time there, old people say what they mean and mean what they say. They have no filter. They figure, hell, life is too short to be polite and use social graces. And it's because of them, I decided to start this blog. Those hilarious one liners that make me love my job and look forward to going to work everyday. They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks. I challenge those people--you can. And they can teach you some tricks along the way.

Mabel

This just happened.  I'm at work and probably shouldn't be writing this right now but whatever. 

It's raining outside pretty hard and there is a chance of hail this afternoon.  I'm driving my husband's truck today and he was concerned about possible hail damage, so he came to my work to take his truck home to safety.  The front of my nursing home is all glass windows and my husband called me to let me know he was out front to get the keys.  I went outside to give him his keys and he pulled me in for a big wet one.  A nice smooch in the rain :)  I went to walk away and then turned to smooch him again one more time.  We said our goodbyes and I went back into the lobby.  'Mabel' happened to be sitting in the lobby near the windows, and as I passed, she called out to me to come over there. "Any more of that and you woulda done got alot more wet if you know what I mean!"  And her eyes gazed downward at my 'pretties.'  I cracked up.  I love Mabel.
