We all know how important it is to laugh and to have a sense of humor when being a caregiver . Not to take light of the situation but my mom who has dementia can say some funny things sometimes. So let’s share some funny things that they may have said or done. We all know the situation so this is a
No Judgment Zone
So I’ll start. Let me set the mood. Mom uses the bathroom and I’m trying to explain to her as always to wipe herself. She didn’t want to.
Me: Didn’t your mother teach you to wipe yourself after you use the bathroom.
Mom: No, maybe your mother did… but mine didn’t.
Leave your funnies below.
My Nana calls me every other family members name but my own. I was shocked one day she did finally say my name and then said “What do you think, I am stupid.” LOL my jaw dropped, that day she knew who I was. It was hilarious, she sometimes makes me think she is faking dementia. I know she is not but those moments she makes family laugh is pricesless.
Yes.. yes with dementia they have moments when they understand and comprehend everything. I’m so glad you had a good laugh!
