honesty

we have this lady at work named, let's say eileen, who is just the funniest thing ever. she makes our days so much more enjoyable because she's such a character. she can't say much, and when she does, the sentences are genereally broken and there are long pauses between phrases, but if you don't watch it she'll start calling you names and possibly smack you (and the woman is strong - she spends all day every day wheeling around the home with her brakes on cuz people keep trying to get her to stay put so she won't cause trouble). for those of you who heard the story, she's the one who pinned me against the wall with her wheelchair and told me she wouldn't let me out.

anyway, she doesn't eat much except sweets, but sometimes you can talk her into bananas or mandarin oranges or some food she's stolen from another resident. so today i cut up a banana for her, but she didn't eat it. so i asked her if she would eat it if i put sugar on it. she said yes, so i did. awhile later i came back and she hadn't eaten it, so i asked her if she was a fibber. she said she wasn't so i asked her why she told me a fib. 'i didn't.' there was a long pause. 'you didn't fib?' i asked. 'no!' long pause. 'i lied!'

well, at least she's honest about it.
