Today, Blanche asked for a cup of coffee at 4:30. The coffee in the pot was cold, so I told her she could heat it up in a coffee mug. Here's the sequence of events as they unfolded: Blanche took the pot with the cold coffee, and placed it on the counter. As she started to open random cabinets, I told her the mugs were above the sink. She still continued to open random cabinets. She finally got to the one above the sink and took a mug. She poured the coffee from the pot into the mug. Then she poured the coffee from the mug back into the pot. I told her to put it back in the mug. So she did. I then told her to put the mug in the microwave and she asked where that was located. I pointed to it behind her. She put the mug in and I told her to press one. She did. Then she turned around, and took another mug out of the cabinet and asked me if that was where she should put her coffee when it was hot. And on and on and on it goes, everyday, day in and day out. It will all be over soon.
Quick update - Blanche went into the kitchen just now to fill up her water glass. After what seemed like an eternity, Tracy went to see what she was doing. She had taken a pudding out of the fridge and was trying to put it into a cup with ice and water in it! Now the argument gets heated. Not that we are tyrants, but she already had a pudding tonight that she had gone into our refrigerator to get without asking. I'm not proud to say it, but I'm very territorial when it comes to my kitchen. However, the challenge is following her into the kitchen every time she goes and pretending that I am doing something else. Tracy took the challenge this time and now Blanche has gone home with her glass of pudding and ice...
