I was visiting my mom yesterday who lives in a residential Alzheimer’s care facility.
I had the following brief exchange with another resident, a small, short, hunched over elderly lady.
Resident: “You’re not from here are you?”
Me: “No mam I’m not”
Resident: “Where are you from?”
Me: “California”
Resident: “I’ve never heard of that place”
after a pause…
Resident: “I think you are from the Big Planet. You’re definitely from the Big Planet”
and she shuffled off
