Once a male always a male! Here's a story to prove my point. Bob was getting a bed bath today, and the nurse said she wanted him to wash his private parts. She walked out of the room, he looked at me and whispered, "Do you want to wash my private parts?" Geesh...do guys ever give up? hahahaha....
On the other end of the spectrum, Bob was irritating me too. He kept playing with his feeding tube, which enters his body through his mid-torso to his stomach. He found it and was playing with it. I told him not to play with it, like a mother does to a toddler. He said that it was stuck to him. I repeated myself, and the terrible twos revealed its' ugly head. He adamantly said NO, then continued. I felt like a sibling saying, "I'm going tell the nurse (mom) if you don't quit." Of course, he continued. I tried to pull his hand away. "STOP IT!" He pushed my hands away. "NO!" Back and forth we tussled. "STOP IT!"-"NO!" So, like a snotty sister, I pushed the call button. Na, na, na-na, na, na... "I pushed the button. Now what are you going to do?" We were having a little sibling rivalry fight for a moment.
Bob was in the dining room eating this evening with the other residents. When I arrived, he was reading the newspaper at the dinner table. It was nice seeing him looking natural, instead of in a hospital bed.
A PRAYER FOR TODAY FROM JOEL OSTEEN
"Father in heaven, I choose to trust that You are working things out for my good. I choose to stand in faith, believing that my season of breakthrough is coming. Give me Your strength and peace as I patiently wait on You. In Jesus' Name. Amen."
