Dad



My Dad has Alzheimer's and can same some really funny stuff.  He is always well mannered and polite, but at a friends house after lunch he got upset and demanded a hot fudge sundae.  Seb heard about it and thought it was so funny.  So when we had Mom and Dad were around last week we all went to get ice cream.  By now "Pa" (as my kids call him) had totally forgot about the incident, but still loved his sundae.  He is so funny to be around he tried to sit with another family at the restaurant, because he was sure he knew them.  Mom and I are always trying to smooth over public situations by saying , "your are right he kind of does look like cousin Mikey."  The family was so nice the husband even scooted over to let my Dad in.  A couple weeks ago I was driving Dad and Mom around Salt Lake and he yelled "Hey, you can climb through the bushed and they will never find you!"  Out to the window to two complete strangers.  Thankfully the light turned green and I just drove away as fast as I could.  Thanks for the adrenaline rush Dad.  So here is a picture of him loving his ice cream, and S being silly.

Dad will keep you on your toes in public places. It reminds me of the toddler blurting out that the lady in front of you in the check-out line has a fat butt, and you have to try and say something to smooth it all over. Dad missed his calling... as a comedian.

Your dad reminds me of Alta and her demand of ice cream at least 5-10 times a day. So funny!! Humor makes otherwise difficult situations joyous, laughable ones. What a great family your dad has!
