"They should have a room ready for your grandfather soon, Miss Bontrager."

    Ah yes, it's not nice to talk about someone as if they aren't there.

    Nobody wants to be ignored! It drive me crazy when I see someone talking as if an older person isn't there or isn't capable of hearing or understanding what's being said.
    I think I'd enjoy these Amish novellas.

    I hate it when people talk about me as if I am not right there in the room. I know how the grandfather feels.

    I like grandfather. I hate when people talk about me like I'm not there and he's at least forcing them to acknowledge him.

    I like books about gardens. I like to read about the Amish too. I'm glad the old guy took up for himself.

    Poor grandfather...it's never nice when people do that.

    I've been away from the meme for a while, but I'm trying to do better on participating....

    Being ignored because people think you're incapable is the worst.
