So I'm in Jersey And maybe this isn't as funny to others but it had me and the sis cracking up. 1. our dad is a bit of an odd ball. He acts like he was born in Georgia circa 1872 sometimes. 2. Since we have been spending tons of time with grandmother, she's turned into a sprite woman who might crack more jokes than I do...MIGHT. She's in such a good mood around me lately, but I suspect that the Alzheimer's has caused her to forget that she doesn't like me and thinks I'm the route of all evil, and a sinner etc etc.
So we're in her room in the rehab center and my dad goes to sit down but jumps up. He pulls this giant container of Vaseline out of his coat pocket and my mom asks "what is that for" to which my dad responds "oh that's what I use to lube up my dry skin" (yes hearing my dad say lube cause my proverbial balls to shrivel and receded into my belly). Grandmother sits up looks at my mom indignantly and says , "Sylvia after over 25 years you still haven't beaten any class to this ole' country bumpkin you pulled out the sticks...Vaseline?, my god boy do you put it in your hair too?" and she starts laughing at her own joke.
my sister and I burst out laughing and my dad interrupts with "only when I run out of grease"
The nurses came, from the commotion we were causing in her room. My sister and I were literally laughing on the floor.
