An old man, Mr. Smith, was living the last of his life in a nursing home. One day, he appeared to be very sad and depressed. Nurse Nancy asked if there was anything wrong. "Yes, Nurse Nancy," said Mr. Smith, "My 'little friend' died today, and I am very sad." Knowing her patients were forgetful and sometimes a little crazy, she replied, "Oh I'm so sorry, Mr. Smith. Please accept my condolences." The following day, Mr. Smith was walking down the hall with his 'little friend' hanging out of his pajamas, when he met Nurse Nancy. "Mr. Smith," she said, "You shouldn't be walking down the hall like this, please put your 'friend' back inside your pajamas." "But Nurse," replied Mr. Smith, "I told you yesterday that it died." "Yes, you did tell me that, but why is it hanging out of your pajamas?" asked the Nurse. "Well," he replied. "Today's the viewing." |
