Enter Jo, chatting, chatting, chatting; she really is the most annoying person. Also, as usual, she's late.

Jo: (to my mother) Shirley, are you ready for your wash?

My Mother: (as close to exploding as she ever is) I've been sitting here for hours. What a silly question!

Great reply! It seems your mother still has some wits about her, even if they come and go at times.

Her memory is useless, but she can react smartly to things that are happening in the moment.
