The other day Abe is trying very hard to explain an abstract idea to me that just is not catching on. (Abe had a funny way of arranging words like a foreigner some times) In his frustration he tells me that I should get something in my “ear to help me understand” WHAT? “You know that thing that the old guy has on UP? Can you see it in your minds eye Mom?”
OH, yeah ok, you think I could understand what you were saying if I had a hearing aid. . .ok very clever.
When all was said and done it turns out that he wanted to know when Aunt Heidi’s last birthday is? And how many does she get? . . .He though that once you grew up you stopped having birthdays. DUH, why is that so hard to understand?
