Mom Laughed at not remembering

in Caring for a Parent

I am just remembering a recent exchange I had with MIL.

She said I am having trouble remembering things. I told that's okay, we are here to help you. Then she said there is something I need to ask you. I said what is it? She said I don't remember!! And we all laughed.

I hope I don't offend anyone...sometimes laughter is a good medicine.

    I agree with the other posts. There are a lot of times if we don't laugh, we'd cry... So anything to help alleviate the mood works for me.
