I have one.
I am caring for someone with dementia. She gets "inside" the TV & participates... in a QVC PROGRAM. She was clapping, laughing, telling the ladies on TV how beautiful they were... Asked me to come & say hi.. Wave at them, which I did....
Too cute and so funny...I enjoyed seeing her so happy.
At least I’d spending time wisely with out those cards and I’ll make sure they’re having a good time I also don’t want to make that good of a impression because I’ll be getting phone calls from other patients asking where they hell is your son because he needs to come here when we’re eating and play cards
I haven't stopped laughing since. He can't shower himself anymore, but every time I tell this story to someone in front of him, he laughs out loud. When I told my daughter about it, he looked at her, grinned, and said, "Don't you believe it."
Humor is so important. I cherish all the funny moments, especially those that make him flash that wonderful grin. I'm writing all of them in a book that I will share one of these days.
CG. End of day you laugh at the day with a smile 😃.
Phone is like a gun and don’t know what 95 old dad by call (911) . He pushed their limits. After 16 police officers at house in 2 years . It came where they called Social Services. A Male and nice looking female came to house. I’ve never been married and no kids . Told Made phone call to male that got RN coming to house to do appointment application for in house help. The MSA certification dude never heard voice message. Only reason he called is because hot female “LOST” her “BADGE”. Thinking Maybe asking that she can stay for a sleep over; My dad probably scare her off like police too. Police said previously; to put him in assisted living and let them take care of him. My quote is You never know who you may marry.. Maybe she’ll kick him outta the house. I only met her today. They’re coming back. Don’t ask what my intensions are. Date maybe. Don’t know?
Hope that be funny enough. A friend said to me, at least your making good friends with the local police 👮 👮♀️🚔 officers and not running 🏃.
Thank you all
When Mom moved to memory care, her new roommate Barbara thought I was a god when I miraculously made her "broken" TV work. The problem? The "remote" she was unsuccessfully employing was actually her phone. Unfortunately, once the TV was on she turned the volume up so damn loud I quickly regretted my deification, but it was fun when her face lit up as bright as the TV when I got it to turn on!
If you're looking for more of the hilarity that is dementia, I write a personal blog chronicling our dementia adventures. In our household we celebrate the insanity and appreciate the laughter of dementia - it helps us make it through the days when there are no smiles to be had.

she tried to dress herself and get
frustrated&agitated.One day,as
she wrestled with a top and her
head was inside it as she tussled
to get her arms through..I said:
"What are you doing,hiding?".
She stopped tussling and burst out laughing.We laughed together
as she allowed me to untangle her.
I loved making her laugh.
So, Sharon called my mom at work to tell her grandma was at Tastee Freeze...again. My mom said she’d be right there.
My my mom gets there, Sharon gives grandma her watch back and my mom said, “Okay mama lets go home.”
On the walk back home, grandma said, “The people at that watch repair shop are so nice! They always give me an ice cream cone while they’re repairing my watch.”
True story....grandma was a trip and I have lots of stories. I remind myself of them while I’m caring for her daughter now; my mom.
At this point we take as much as we could in their good times.
Laugh and smile as much as you could cherish every minute of it.
Last week he called my daughter saying that there were two policemen in his wing and they came to take me, residing in the room across from him (as per him), away. I tried to run away but they caught up with me, put me in handcuffs and took me to prison. To this day he is keeping up this story. He now has started doing his own laundry, folding it and putting it away and cleaning his studio suite, since "I am in prison". He feels now that he is in a better place than me, and is happy! He has narcissistic tendencies so this explains the above better.
No more issues with him wanting to go home!!!
His story is in a way funny but also sad given his state of mind.
