Adults Say the Darnedest Things...

There is a woman in the secured Alzheimer's unit who is convinced that another male patient is her husband. (Of course this is simply not the case.) At meal times she sits next to him, picks off his plate, and then tries to feed him.
One morning one of the nurses aids was helping the man get out bed and mentioned to him that his "girlfriend" was waiting outside the door. The man leaned over and whispered, "Can you tell me her name? I don't want to offend her!"
