A family had the grandmother living with them. They loved having her around, but got to the stage where they felt they couldn't look after her as well as she deserved. After much soul searching, they looked for and found a wonderful nursing home. They took the grandmother along, and left her for a day to see how she liked it.
She chatted to the existing residents, the staff, etc. It seemed good. She was delighted to be sat on the patio looking at the wonderful gardens, talking to residents & staff, playing bridge and being treated to tea, biscuits, snacks, etc.
Whilst sitting there, she slowly started to lean to the left. The staff immediately came along, straightened her up, and asked if she was OK. She insisted she was.
Ten minutes later, she slowly started to lean to the right. Again the staff came along, straightened her up and enquired if she was OK with the old lady insisting everything was fine.
This happened a number of times throughout the rest of the day. At teatime, the lady's family turned up and asked her how the day had went.
"Ooh its lovely here, I really like it" she said, "Mind you, they won't let you fart!"
