Daily life can be a struggle sometimes, but it’s important to laugh. Preferably together or simply at me when on the receiving end of D’s still very sharp wit.
Carer: would you like a painkiller?
D: what?
Carer: a paracetamol?
D: what?
Carer: do you have any pain today?
D: what?
Carer: is anything bothering you?
D: only the present government.
Carer: what?!

Me: Oh god no.
D: (Pointing) What’s that’s on the screen?
Me: What? The pop up player?
D: Yeah. What’s a pop up? ……. What’s a player?
