Lighten up Mondays
Three sisters, ages 92, 94, and 96, lived together in a large, rambling house in Asherville, North Carolina. One night the 96-year old was drawing a bath for herself. She put her foot into the tub and paused. She shouted to her two sisters, “Was I getting in or out of the bath?”
The 94-year old sister yelled back, “I don’t know. I’ll come up and see.” She started up the stairs and paused. “Was I going up the stairs or down?”
The 92-year old sister was sitting at the pine wood kitchen table, having tea and listening to her sisters’ conversation. She shook her head and said, “I sure hope I never get that forgetful … knock on wood!”
She then shouted, “I’ll come up and help the both of you as soon as I see who’s at the door.”
