Does Not Follow Instructions Well

Sign on my father's hospital room door:



Conversation between BI'75 and our mother:

BI'75: (Upon Mom's arrival in Dad's hospital room after riding public transportation) Did you wash your hands yet?
Mom: I washed them at home.

I attest to the accuracy of this conversation. AND, there are signs IN the room about hand-washing. AND we have all been going through that door and sitting in that room for the last 10 days.

I think Mom can't read. But didn't she teach ESL for years?

Would you like some eggs with your hand-washing?

ESL and adult literacy!

Would you like some salmon with your eggs?

Would you like some blueberries with your salmon?

With extra Kleenex. Do you have eczema?
