sweet story

One of the residents came out on the porch today as I was reading the newspaper. She is a sweet old lady who lives in a world of her own. She wanders around talking to herself all the time. She's very curious and comments on absolutely everything, but her thoughts and her comments don't have any logical continuity to them. She is always smiling and is quite soft spoken and just sees to be vocalizing whatever thought is passing through her head at the time.

This morning she wandered out on the porch as I was reading the paper. At first she just mumbled to herself as usual ("There goes a girl running by." "Oh, listen to that!" "They're in a hurry!")

Then, all of a sudden, she reaches over, grabs the paper out of my hand, and stares at it, transfixed. I look to see what's happening and see there's an ad with a full page picture of a man's face. He's in his 30's, and vaguely resembles George Clooney.

"Good looking!" she says.

I examine the ad. "He's a doctor," I say.

"Hmmm..," she says, thinking. "I go to doctors..."

Whoever created that ad ought to get a raise!
