Ma was worried about Johnmybrother's speech. Today I was able to reassure her. I brought the I Pad with the speech program, the newest book by his favorite author and pictures of Nanoq. I made a brief attempt to show it to him when he raised his fist and belowed, fairly clearly, "I HATE YOU!"
Joy.
Ma also lost her checkbook. She attempted to call Aldi's only to find she couldn't see the print. Rather than spend money calling the operator, she called me. I went through four current phone books. No Aldi's. No listing under groceries, food sellers, purveyers of fine food. Nothing. I called the operator and was connected to a lady in Chicago. She announced she wasn't the one to speak with and briskly passed me to an operator in Springfield (Indianna?). The woman there said she'd call the store in Erlanger, Kentucky-where my mother shops.
I insisted on getting their phone numbers. They were reluctant to disclose, but finally did. The company is, I was told, unlisted.
Aldi's called Ma shortly thereafter and said they had her checkbook. Ma called me.
Joy.
