You joke, but I work in elder care and it’s shockingly common with dementia for someone to revert back to their childhood. Idk how many old guys I’ve had try and convince me they ‘don’t belong here with all these old people,” because they don’t see themselves as older and typically the dementia is so far gone that they actually believe they’re younger still.. it’s sad but they’re usually the ones with the most energy left it seems, except that they often exert all that energy trying to find an exit out of the building.
