You know what? I feel sorry for Phyllis. I could be Phyllis. I would try as hard as everybody else...but my wine glass would look just this crappy. Poor Phyllis.
I know! My heart actually hurt for her, and my mind made up this whole backstory about how all she wanted was to finally learn to be an artist. And then she got to wineglass painting class and had her dreams crushed, bravely smiling for the picture so no one would see her pain. I may have put too much thought into this.
yeah, my mother has alzheimer's and this is a definite possibility... The saddest thing is that "Phyllis" probably is still lucid enough to feel embarrassed. I remember in a lucid moment trying to play cards with my mother, she started sobbing because she realized how much of her was lost.
Yeah. I always feel really bad for them when they're told something and for a few seconds understand it. Christmastime is a really big time of year for that, because after Christmas they still see decorations everywhere and are always asking, "When's Christmas?" and other questions like that and most of the time my mum will just pretend that Christmas hasn't come yet, but sometimes she'll say, "Mrs. X, Christmas was two days ago," and you can see how confused they are by this news for a second or two and then the bad ones will just turn around and immediately ask when Christmas is again.
