Waiting in the hospital for Nan’s appointment to get her eyes checked after a recent infection.

Every single time someone’s name is called…

Nan: who?
Me: not you

Every. Single. Time. 😩 #Nanisms

Visiting Nan with my three year old. She watched me take her plaits out and put her hair in bunches yet has asked me three times if she’s had a perm. No, funnily enough, no chemicals on the pre-schoolers hair 🤣 #Nanisms

These crack me up 😂😬

[People Selling Mirrors @SellingAMirror]

A Hider. Always my favourite; they're *this* close to figuring it out.

Also enjoying that they've been forced to sell it :-D

Nan: have you driven this way before?
My husband: er, yeah.
Nan: hmm.
Two seconds later:
Nan: have you been to this place before?
My husband: yeah.

“Where are we going?” Third time since we got into the car. We are 18 mins into a 1 hour and 17 minute journey. #XmasNanisms

[K W @DirtyDC74]

Changed to querying “how much longer to go?” now. Husband patiently replying “35 mins”… “25 mins”…

He really is a good, calm man.

Nan: where are we going?
My Husband: to your daughters house
Nan: have you been there before?
My Husband: yes… [very confused as we have visited on multiple occasions over the last two years, with her!]
——-
I don’t think she realises who is driving. 🫠 #XmasNanisms

[K W @DirtyDC74]

Nan: there are no driveways, it’s a disgrace!
Me: we live on a road of Victorian terraces, they didn’t have cars when they built the houses Nan
Nan: well that’s stupid.

Bear in mind she has never learned to drive herself. #XmasNanisms

“Where are my clothes?” Erm, on you… thankfully! #XmasNanisms

[K W @DirtyDC74]

Genuinely asking my husband and stepdad: “Are you two brothers?” 🤦‍♀️ like she’s never met them before. #Dementia #XmasNanisms #Nanisms

[K W @DirtyDC74]

She’s still here… #XmasNanisms during the King’s Speech, she’s told us four times that he’s got cancer.

@lloydcoombes FFS. Sorry to hear this Lloyd. I’m sure you’ll be snapped up soon.

[K W @DirtyDC74]

In car to visit my mum. Nan in the front, I’m sandwiched between the elderly dog and my three year old in the back.
3yo: “Grandma draw me a picture!!”
Nan delivers this gem.
3yo: “What is THAT?!”
Nan: “I don’t fucking know! I hate art!”

Nan: *silence*
Me: Grandma he’s talking to you!
My husband: Have you been up to much?

@beckycbrynolf Mothercare is still a clothing brand at Boots if that helps? John Lewis is super helpful, even if you don’t end up buying it from there, the advice they gave is good and can gear you up for alternatives (eg we ended up getting car seat from Halfords in the end)!
