Getting Down with the Homeys . . . Nursing Homeys, that is.

So I'm visiting my mom in the nursing home this morning and discovered that yet another stereotype may indeed be a "universal truth."

Mom was telling me that she really wants one of those motorized scooters to get around in the nursing home.  Now, keep in mind, my sweet mother is blind as a bat.  She has suffered from age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy for years and no longer has any central vision at all.  The staff (and our family) have issued a resounding "NO" because she cannot see to drive one.  She would be mowing down innocent bystanders left and right.  It would be like Mr. Magoo on the Autobahn.  Not good.

Anyway, apparently, there's a couple of gentlemen at her home who have these . . . and they attract some attention.  Mom was flattered when one of them asked her for her name.  I told her if she played her cards right, he might take her for a ride.

I guess the universal truth remains . . . . "Da boyz with the cool rides really do get all da bitches."
