    compost
    Dark humor, maybe, but my grand-niece recently learned about death. She's just four years old, and her mom explained to her how we don't go on forever, but move on to a better place. She got so sad, and she thought on it a long time. She finally said: If granny died, I would cry and cry all day and all the next day, and the day after that I'd take her out and put in her the compost bin.

    tater patch
    Had to bring dad to live with us while he is in treatments, starting this spring. He got bad and was neglecting his geriatric dog, so the grouchy, old dog was in poor health as well. I told dad I was going to plant potatoes and if the dog got lost we might have to look in the holes in the garden in case he got buried along with the spuds, so we started calling the dog "tater patch." Eventually it evolved into "Dog, if you don't straighten up, you're going to the tater patch/ compost pile." But then I told dad that was an empty threat as we don't want hairy potatoes! :)

    Laughter is good for the Soul
    The great thing about it all is that the laughter we get makes us feel so much better

    Hondo

    So true
    Icould not agree more with you Hondo. I don't know what I would do if I couldn't laugh with my family and friends. It really keeps my spirits up!

    I know my kids have been
    I know my kids have been laughing at me. I told my nine year old to brush her face before she went to bed the other night meaning her teeth of course.
    And I am only taking pain medicine occasionally!

    Hi aykt

    Welcome to CSN glad to have you here with us. The way I look at it these days it is normal for me to mess-up as my mouth moves before my brain kicks in, sometimes I have to stop and think about stuff I said then re-say it over again.

    My Mom
    My mom said some pretty ridiculous things while she was all hopped up on the all the pain meds.

    She would fall asleep really easily, but only for about 30 seconds or so. She used to tell me that she was living between two worlds. The world she knew was real with me and the hospital etc, and the world in her brain that appeared as soon as she closed her eyes.

    One day she was telling me about all these little tiny people, and how they were building a castle and she got angry at them because they were building the moat wrong. I just started laughing at her, and she goes, "oh, that wasn't real. I know that, i swear"

    This one is a little bit morbid, but one day close to the end, the ICU nurses came to check on her because her oxygen was low, and they asked her what day it was. She responded with February, even though it was May. The nurse just kind of chuckled and said, why do you think it's February, do you think it's cold in here? Mom said, well it must be February, because it's not very light outside. The nurse looked at her and said, it's not light outside because it's almost midnight and mom just laughed and laughed and laughed.

    Then of course all the BM jokes and the cheering that occurred at the smallest of BMs.

    Dyslectic Tongues

    I had a friend who passed many years ago from H&N cancer (Ironically I know and fighting the same battle).... He was notorious for mixing up words and sayings... here are a few I remember. RIP Eddie Mo Z!

    They call it "Chemobrain"
    This post made me laugh, my mom and aunt would always say CHEMOBRAIN after they would realize what they said made no since at all. So here's a funny one: my mom ask me to run to the store and buy her some vitamins. So I bought her "women's one a day"I get home and give them to her. About ten minutes later she comes out of her room holding the vitamins and her glasses, she looks at me and says "Kenny, I think I need new glasses,i can see where it says women's one a day, but I can't find anything on here where it says how many times a day I'm supposed to take'em" That memory always puts a smile on my face.

    I've had term Chemobrain used

    I've had term Chemobrain used on me.  I think it's relevant when you first start on something new but then your brain adapts and you are normal again.  The short period of change is good.  You are open minded and interested in reading up on the new chemical you are taking.  It may as well be interesting.

    is it okay
    Should I feel bad for laughing at the funny things? I hope you don't think so...I worry sometimes that it's insensitive of me.
    I laugh because I feel so bad that my mom's mouth doesn't say what she wants it to say or that her brain can't control what comes out, and she doesn't allow any crying to happen in front of her.
    I started this thread thinking maybe other people had heard "funnies" and my mom wasn't the only one, but so far I only got your response. I hope it hasn't offended people..that wasn't my intention. But sometimes we need to laugh the pain away, even at a chuckle at a time.

    Humor

    Find a little humor in all you do, share the humor even if its someone else's struggle that made you feel like laughing. It'll probably make them laugh too. Smile, it makes people wonder what your up too Wink LS

    We can laugh at funny things
