Since chronic urinary tract infections have been such a part of my mom's story for the past 3 years, I find myself in the habit of testing her memory to gauge the situation from time to time. I'm guessing this can be a little on the annoying side when she is feeling well.
This is how our interaction went this evening at the dinner table.
Me: "Do you know who I am?"
Mama: "Yeah".
Me: "Who am I"?
Mama: "Well, you're either Robert or John." (those are the names of my two brothers)
Me: "Okay. I see how it is."
Papa-Larry is hearing impaired and didn't catch all of the interaction, so he asked what my mom had said.
Me: "She said she's a Smart Aleck".
Mama giggled.
She passed the test. Her memory is sharp tonight and her sense of humor is intact.
