A family took their frail, elderly mother to a nursing home and left her,
hoping she would be well cared for. The next morning, the nurses bathed her, fed her a tasty breakfast, and set her in a chair at a window overlooking a lovely flower garden.
She seemed okay, but after a while she slowly started to tilt sideways in
her chair. Two attentive nurses immediately rushed up to catch her and
straighten her up.
Again she seemed okay, but after a while she slowly started to tilt over to
her other side. The nurses rushed back and once more brought her back
upright. This went on all morning. Later, the family arrived to see how the
old woman was adjusting to her new home.
"So Ma, how is it here? Are they treating you alright?"
"It's pretty nice," she replied. "Except they won't let me fart."
