Things Overheard in the Hallway 2
"I'm not gonna go sit in that room, it's full of old women", Verna, age 92.
Verna and I were in therapy together (Verna calls it gym) and developed a friendship. After we both "graduated"/got booted out of therapy, they tried to get Verna to take part in the Walk to Dine program (some of the aides call it the Drag to Dine program). Verna objected to being in the company of old women, even though physically she was one of the oldest in the room. Mentally, she is around 35.

Her mental age is probably why her physical age is 92! Hope we all have that mentality when we reach her age!
