Exercise While You Sleep

I was walking down the hall of the dementia unit in the nursing home where I contract services. About ten of the residents were sitting around in a circle with one of the recreation workers, doing some exercises. Except for Mrs. M- who was sitting there sleeping.

I tapped her on the shoulder as I passed, and whispered, "Mrs. M- , you're sleeping."

Her head popped up, she turned around to look at me, and she said indignantly, "No I'm not, I'm doing it my way."
