They do come out with some gems once in a while. I've had a few bloody awful homecare shifts of late, and sometimes that little thing that makes you laugh is all you need to get you through to the end of the day. This particular weekend one of my regulars (an 84yr old Jamaican man) was in bed whilst I had a chat with him.
"Do you have a boyfriend?" he asked.
"No, I don't have time." I answered. It's my standard response. I regularly get asked the same question. Or if I'm married with children.
"Good girl. You concentrate on your studies. But do you not ever get hungry for the boys?"
Brilliant. Perhaps you need the gesticulations to fully appreciate how hard I had to try to not laugh.
