Make it easier on yourself and everybody else and don't argue with someone who has Alzheimer's. If you do this or know someone who does this, stop it right now!
If they say the sky is green that day, then you know what? The sky is green!
A woman told me the other day how her mom keeps arguing with her grandma when grandma says she's waiting for HER mom and dad to pick her up. The mom keeps arguing that they've been dead for years!
STOP IT!!!
Seize this opportunity to say, "How wonderful! What time will they be here? Where will you go today? How are they?"
You get my drift … right?
Use that as an opportunity to witness the childlike wonder and excitement in their eyes. Find out more about their parents and their childhood. The possibilities to relive that special moment are limitless!
Don't argue … enjoy!
