So all of those things we think but don't say in our 40s, we say out loud in our 70s. If my thoughts when I'm behind an idiot in line at the store are any indication...keep me away from Bingo. I might shank someone with my spork. As people age, the part of the brain that acts as a “filter” deteriorates. So all of those things we think but don’t say in our 40s, we say out loud in our 70s.

The nursing staff calmed my granny down and reassured her that he wasn't really aware of his actions being hurtful to her, since he wasn't aware he was married at the time of the encounter. Later on that week when she visited again, she asked what had been done to ensure that no more shenanigans would occur between her husband and this "other woman". They escorted her to the lunch room where she noticed my grandfather at the opposite side of the dining room as this female resident with their backs facing one another, so that neither of them realized the other existed.

I think part of it is a joke, but part of it is just the awful truth of old age: you get put into a home, and you're falling apart physically and mentally. You do a lot of crap, just like a baby would, and you get away with it because you're old and we're taught to respect the elderly. You're senile, so you didn't know better. Or if you did, you're old and eccentric. Common behavioral expectations don't always apply to you anymore, and some reckon they may as well enjoy it. ;) So I agree with Tom, but yeah, I'm sure many of those old biddies engage in such behavior because they've, by nature of their age, 'earned' it. >.> My hubby says the same kind of thing, where he can be the raunchy old fart chasing the nurses and acting like a dirty old man.
