Once upon a time, there was this lady who would get up every morning wondering what they day had in store for her. On this particular day, her son was running late and she had to drive him to school. The roundtrip would take about thirty minutes. Keeping in the back of her mind that late to school would mean school detention which would result in no basketball game and 50 laps as consequence for the tardiness to school.
Meanwhile, her dad, who suffers from Alzheimer’s, decided to also get up at the same time. This lady decided that she could handle it all. Dad would have breakfast in bed while she drove her son to school. The plan was a total success as her dad did not get out of bed and did not fall bagaboon on the floor.
After driving her son, she then decided that it was time to shower and dress her dad. All she could think about – be efficient – don’t waste anytime. She followed the daily procedure of sponge bathing her dad sitting in bed. She dried him gently and gave him a bottle so he could urinate on the bottle. She left the room for three seconds. Upon her return, she found that her dad had peed but had turned the bottle upside down with all the urine on the floor, on himself and on the bed. He had decided to turn the bottle upside down and make it into drums. He was very happy, playing the “drums” and dancing in bed. Sadly, she had to wash him all over again, clean the floor and change the bedding. Meanwhile, her dad was very happy. He is now known as the Joker Drummer Boy.
