Aged Parents Are Like Little Kids

[poliphilo]

Ailz has bought her parents a new phone. Now they've got two. One each.  So if Dad is alone in the garden and falls and can't get up or Mom goes for a walk and ends up on a street she doesn't recognise- both things that have happened recently- there'll be no excuse for them not summoning help.

Will they do as they've been told and take a phone with them everywhere?

What do you think?

We've given my mother similar instructions. When we remind her about them she goes, "pish tush" and changes the subject.

B.'s parents remember to take their phone everywhere. However, they don't wish to turn it on because they don't like to be bothered. So when they actually need to turn it on, they inevitably fail to remember their code.

Wonderful!

Mind you, I can't talk. I hate phones and only carry one if bullied into it.
