That was a master class in “redirection.” I did it with toddlers, I hope that they do it with me.

Another big one is ‘I’m late for work!’ So I’d tell them ‘oh no, it’s ok! Your boss gave you the day off for all the hard work you’ve been doing lately. You can go back to bed!’ The relief on their face As they’d hurry back to bed 😂

Why you questioning her so much. I take care of an Alzheimer women and I wouldn’t question her that much. I would go with it while following her. She would babble away while and join her adventure. This women seems to remember more than my aunt though.

EXACTLY!! Could not convince my family of this. My dad in the nursing home.-“ I had such great day today-I went to lunch with Nonnie” (his mother who died in 1983) My brother: “ So Dad, Noni died in 1983” Me-OMG STFU!! If he thinks he went to lunch with his mother and had a great day let him think that!!!! Omg!
