I hang out a lot with my mom at her assisted living facility. Bwahahaha.
Oh wait, we’re talking about me, not Mr. Amputee Skeleton (he has only one lower leg.) One would think I have no life or no friends. Not true. I just like the lack of drama, lack of urgency, and living in the moment that hanging out there offers me. Not to mention spending quality time with my mom. But I’ll save all that for another post. Back to Halloween.
Mom had been bugging reminding me to get her Halloween decorations out of storage, so finally yesterday I did so. Mom and my daughters all love decorating for Halloween. Me, not so much. If I had my ‘drothers, I’d do my home all Better Homes & Gardens like.
However, during the decorating for mom, some of my sick sense of humor came out. Hence, hanging the skeleton above mom’s Oxygen In Use sign. (Although she’s not on oxygen any longer, they haven’t removed the sign. Yet.) I started cracking up in the hallway and showed mom and she LOVED it. Another elderly lady came by and she smiled and loved it too. “You gotta have fun while you can” she said. Truer words were never spoken.
“You dirty rat!”
My mom’s ex-roommate used to HATE this rat. I think he’s hilarious. I set him on the floor and instantly thought, oooh, what if I give some old guy a heart attack with that thing? And I cracked myself up again. Man, I am twisted. Aforementioned elderly lady passing by loved it, as do the staff.
Mr. Dead Amputee is looking at mom like he wants to eat her head so he can grow a limb.
Some of the more harmless decorations.
The whole shebang.
I hope she wins the contest.
