surreal moment....

ok, so....in my thursday county there is an 82-year old woman who brings her own seat cushion to the diabetes support group faithfully every month...for the past 3 years i've been leading the group....she dips deeper and deeper into random chatter....but today her stream-of consciousness was priceless......the group of pondering the added stress of houseguests on blood glucose control.....when my elderly friend abruptly drew her bottle of diabetes pills out of her purse, and announced to the group (eight- a decent enough crowd) that her doctor had put her on pills....and she wanted us to know that she was upset about it, because she had been able to manage her diabetes on diet ever since kathy c-dub, the dietitian up to the hospital in d-ville had put her on a diet, and she wanted everybody to know that kathy c-dub had kept her off of pills all of this time....at which point the other ladies started twittering...and she looked me in the face and asked if i knew kathy c-dub......and the lady closest to my elderly friend turned to her and said....don't you know that this IS kathy c-dub?......and she said very quietly that i couldn't be her because kathy c-dub works up to the hospital in d-ville.......gentle readers......i suppose the joke is on me...because i have no memory of ever working with this woman who claims that i kept her off medicine for 7 years.......
