I'd Like A Little Moan

[Ric.ror]

My mother is getting on my nerves
She's obsessed by the bloke next door. She's convinced he's trying to take advantage of her - not in a sexual way
Can you believe he's had the audacity to sit outside in the communal area with his shorts on!!! As if that wasn't bad enough he's moving out of the shade into the sun!! I dared not get her started on the washing line again she was apoplectic.
I know she's 88 but it's like an obsession.
Months ago she accused him of a famous murder based on the fact he wears a baseball cap. I told her to tell the police

Elderly people do have there funny little ways. You have to be patient. :-)

[Mamyalynne]

I think you just have to nod, smile and say 'never mind'.

What's her objection to the shorts? His legs? Or is she worried he'll get burnt?

[ummmm]

I imagine it gets quite frustrating.

[woofgang]

oh dear! has she always been a little.....unusual.....or is this new? If its new, what with the hot spell and all it could be a urine infection, they can really knock the elderly for a loop.

Yes Tilly, we're all very patient with you:-)

[Baldric]

Shorts and a Baseball Cap, gosh, he's shameless!

[Tilly2]

Melv, you're going down in my estimation. Such a shame. I liked you.

[Tilly2]

Tell us about the washing line, Ric. It'll make you feel better.

[Ric.ror]

She thinks he's monopoliesing the washing line which should be a joint one
Now the fact that she has no washing at the moment to hang on it is irrelevant

[melv16]

It was a joke,Tilly.

[Tilly2]

I know, Melv. :-)

Can you get her one of those little, circular, plastic peggy things for her smalls, Ric. Then she won't need so much room on the line.

Should try mine.....last Saturday, came in with a pastie to be greeted with,"I've had such a surprise; there's a garden here, I have something to do."

What's the expression, "No synonym for excrement, Sherlock!"

[Ric.ror]

She doesn't need one Tilly
She cannot hang her washing out as she has none at the moment and she can't reach the line anyway
