When our parents get older and we are no longer able to care for them on our own, it may be necessary to get some outside help. Many people don’t look forward to that possibility, but not every nursing home is a bad place to live. There are some that are top-of-the-line and they do what they can to ensure the comfort and proper care of the residents who live within their walls. That is what this family experienced in a joke that is going to leave you laughing.
One evening a family brings their frail, elderly mother to a nursing home and leaves her, hoping she will be well cared for.
The next morning, the nurses bathe her, feed her a tasty breakfast, and set her in a chair at a window overlooking a lovely flower garden.
She seems OK, but after a while she slowly starts to fall over sideways in her chair. Two attentive nurses immediately rush up to catch her and straighten her up.
Again she seems OK, but after a while she starts to tilt to the other side. The nurses rush back and once more bring her back upright.
This goes on all morning. Later the family arrives to see how the old woman is adjusting to her new home.
“So Ma, how is it here? Are they treating you all right?” they ask.
“It’s pretty nice,” she replies. “Except they won’t let you fart”
