Driving Me Crazy

My seniors have the uncanny ability to always keep me on my toes.
Senior: “Zelzee, I want to sign up for that AARP driving class.”
Zelzee: “The one in June or the one in July.”
Senior: “The one you’re having.”
Zelzee: “I have one every month. I just don’t know which one you want to take.”
Senior: “I want to take the one that has the free coffee and donuts, and there’s a film to watch in the dark, so I can get some sleep. Then because I am still breathing by the end of the stuffy class, and you know it’s always too gosh darn hot in that room anyway, well, then I get some dang piece of paper and I save all kinds of money on insurance. And make sure I have a parking place close to the door, because I don’t walk too good anymore without my walker. Oh, and I want to be up front ’cause I don’t see worth a dam either!”
Zelzee: “But when do you want to come to the class.”
Senior: “I just told you. Weren’t you listening?”
Zelzee: “June it is.”
And there is not one doubt in my mind they parked their car right next to mine…………….

Please tell me where you live so I can stay off the road. That sounds like one scary class.

I used to work in a nursing home, the elderly crack me up! I love how they can say whatever they want and get away with it.

Hmmm—your classes sound very interesting, if they contain all those wonderful things.
Well, hell…sign me up, too!

Girl – you have endless fodder with these folks. You must have such a hoot at work!

You have the patience of a saint. I love the quote about redheads by the way.

I want to punch myself in the face. How do you stand it?
