Stuff Seniors Say

Sometimes you just want to know that you're not alone.

"Are you busy?" Mrs. A wanted to know.

"What can I do for you?" I asked.

"Nothing.  I just wanted to know if you were busy or if you were pretending to be busy."

"I'm not sure," I said, because I had no idea how to answer that.

"Well, good.  I thought I was the only one who didn't know what was going on."

Proof that we never really outgrow adolescence. 

"I can't roll all over this place just to catch you," Mr. B said to Mrs. C.

(Yes, Mrs. C.  There's a Mr. C and they both stay at the nursing center.)

"Well, you better quit because you're not gonna get me."
