My dad emailed me this morning. I had asked him if he had fear of Alzheimer's (I sure do it runs in the family.) He was like "Nope, I'm not old enough yet, besides which I figure it will be worse for the people taking care of me!"
LOL. He gets it. I hope he does not expect me to be one such person because I won't. I once asked him for a short term LOAN and he sent me a book titled, "Stop treating me like a child, but first can you loan me some money."
So I did the reasonable thing and sold it to this antiquated concept called the "Used book store" for two bucks. I was like, "2 bucks is better than nothing."
If he asks for my aid, I am going to find (even if I have to write it) a book entitled, "Stop asking for my help you are a grown up! But first, can you take care of my Alzheimer's?"
LOL my therapist told me there was only one such copy of that book in existence, endlessly being purchased then sold by tightwad parents and their desperate children.
I have dearly wanted to KNOW HOW he got the book in the first place I mean it was so eerily SPECIFIC. How did he know??????
To be fair, he was a sender of the "mean birthday joke card" and for his 50th birthday like, I was like, "I am going to TOP any card I have ever gotten.
He used to play the piano and there was a dude on the front playing the piano, and the caption was "You used to be composing...."
And on the inside it read, "Now, you are just decomposing. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!
LOL I did not hear much about that card. I won.
This makes me and my dad sound like it's a miracle we even grunt at each other, but we email regularly. (LOL he is in Aus, he can stay there) but really, we are just a little high strung in all the same ways.
Be they right or be they wrong, I have no idea.
But my dad gets Alzheimer's will suck for everyone else, not him. I am SUPER glad he married his trophy second wife much younger. I hope she has a GREAT time with it, and I mean that sincerely.
In all fairness, she is worse than him by a country mile.
