92 years young

Today is my Nana's 92nd birthday. She's moving into an assisted living facility today (helluva birthday present) but broke her hip and has been in rehab for the past four weeks. I got to see her last weekend, and as usual she was full of (unintentional) one-liners.
  • She sleeps with her Keds on - "just in case"
  • She is afraid to turn on the "black box" (aka television) because she kept it on once and it woke her up in the middle of the night
  • We asked if she had made any friends in the rehab facility, and she said not really - "it's a bunch of little old ladies!" (um. okay.)
  • She introduced one of the nurses as her "lover"
  • She told another one during physical therapy that she would "cut her throat" (twice)
Ah, classic Betty. She's certainly one of a kind. (And I'm sure the nurses are relieved.)
