Wily Granny's Day at the Nursing Home

Recently, a good friend of mine and I went to lunch. We try to do this often. but usually it works out once every two weeks. We have a grand old time, sipping sweet tea and eating biscuits. Of course there is talking about our lives as college students - hers as a wife mine as a magician (magic has taken the place of a boyfriend for awhile - I think it intimidates some guys.) Somehow, the topic of our grandmothers always comes up.

In short, both of ours are very entertaining. Mine because she can never get any one's name right and has a deep dislike of Harry Potter (which I like) and hers because she is just hilarious and one of the funniest people I've heard of, ever. This series of posts is devoted to her Grandmother who I will call "Wily Granny" and are 100% true (before you ask I have received permission from my friend to write these posts and she loves the idea).

Wily Granny is Kicked out of a Nursing Home

Wily Granny is a kind lady who enjoys helping others. This week she decided to volunteer at the local Nursing Home, serving the residents food, visiting with them, and being an all around lovely person.

Throughout the week, Wily Granny came to know a man who was paraplegic. He would talk to his family everyday via phone, however since he wasn't able to hold a phone a nurse or volunteer had to do so for him.

Apparently the week Wily Granny volunteered was the breaking point for this man. He complained loudly everyday about how he had no privacy with his family because the nurse was there.

Wily Granny being the big hearted woman she is, decided she was going to come up with a solution to this man's problem. She thought hard all day and all night for days.

Finally she had an idea!

She went in the next day excited about her plan, and armed with the supplies she would need. When the time came for the man to call his family, Wily Granny offered to help him.

After the nurse had left Wily Granny pulled out her well concealed roll of duct tape.

Then proceeded to duct tape the man's phone to his head, and left to give him privacy.

Somehow, the Nursing Home wasn't ok with this idea and politely asked Wily Granny to leave.
