I called my mom last night to see how she was doing.  Apparently there has been some excitement at the Nursing Home….

Let me back up a little to tell you the story…

There is a little man that has taken a shine to my mom, who I’ll call Mr. T.    My mom however is not impressed with him…..as a matter of fact the only nice thing I’ve heard her say about Mr. T. is that he’s disgusting and a pain in the ass (her words..not mine).     He has been following her around, and on several occasions has come into her room.   Which is a big no-no to my mom….she has threatened to knock him in the head with her phone (again her words) if he comes into her room again.  

So cut to a few nights ago….It’s 12:30 at night and my mom is sleeping…she is awakened to someone rubbing her feet….and yes you guessed it….it was Mr. T in his wheelchair at the foot of the bed rubbing my mom’s feet.     This is where it gets a little exciting….

Mom says she started screaming bloody murder…telling the SOB (her words again….) to get the hell outta her room.     The screaming scared Mr. T. so he is trying his best to get his wheelchair out of the room when mom gets up and grabs the first thing she sees….which was….the flyswatter and starts chasing Mr. T. down the hall beating the hell outta him with the flyswatter….  He’s yelling….Mom is yelling and the nurses….well I’m not sure what the heck they thought. 

I couldn’t help but get a mental picture of my mom….all 4 foot nothing of her running after this guys wheelchair and whacking or in this case swatting away at this guy as he tries to get away from her….

I’m just glad the phone wasn’t handy…..I’m wondering how much it would cost to bail her out of jail…

I can just see the headline….Don’t mess with little ole Southern ladies with Phones ……………or flyswatters…LOL
