As a grown man, I watched her children do the same thing to her. They put her away in an indecent, poorly cared-for institution. Now that I am old, I am watching the third generation do to the second generation what the second generation did to the first. If you want to perpetuate cruelty to the second and third generation, then treat your old folks cruelly. Your children will treat you like you treated your parents, and on and on it goes.
Old folks love to laugh.
I learned that older people have a priceless sense of humor when I taught a senior citizens class at First Christian Church in Santa Ana some years ago. More than any other age, older people have a sense of humor. As I write these lines George Burns is an old man of 93, people love to laugh with him, and he loves to laugh. Perhaps that is why he has lived so long. Visit the old people.
