The family wheeled Grandma out on the lawn,in her wheelchair,where the activities for her 100th birthday were taking place.Grandma couldn't speak very well,but she could write notes when she needed to communicate.After a short time out on the lawn,Grandma started leaning off to the right,so family members grabbed her,straightened her up,and stuffed pillows on her right.
A short time later,she started leaning off to her left,so again the family grabbed her and stuffed pillows on her left.Soon she started leaning foward,so the family members again grabbed her,then tied a pillowcase around her waist to hold her up.
A nephew who arrived late came running up to Grandma and said,"Hi Grandma,you're looking good! How are they treating you?"
Grandma took out her little notepad and slowly wrote a note to the nephew,"They won't let me fart."

Is this a joke? Or am I laughing inappropriately yet again? And besides, I thought my mother was the only one who moved to the side to relieve herself... Think it's time to tell her this little story, so she doesn't feel so bad but does feel old. Thanks for the laugh.

I'm hoping it's a joke, because I heard it about 20 years ago, but it was about grandpa in a nursing home.
Should this be an acutal family incident only resembling humor, I apolologize to that family and promise to not laugh at the joke at any time in the future.
It's interesting to see how jokes change over the years.
Dee.

if it's not a joke, I'll still have to laugh. It just reminds me of my mother... And we all have to laugh at times anyway. Better to laugh at this than the kid slipping on the ice, right? Told you I laugh at the wrong times..

unfortunately a friend of mine just sent me this in an e-mail as a joke. So this could be confusing.

*lol* "Grandma" belongs in the "Best Wardrobe Malfunctions poll", posted by gardenergirl
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/social/20040131/msgs/309073.html
about a month back. It was a *good natured* poll, and very timely. Anyone else?Here was mine:
It didn't happen to me personally, but for my cousin, sister and me, it will go down in history as Absolutely The Very Funniest Wardrobe Malfunction In The Whole World For The Rest Of Our Lives.Our Gram'ma who had a very *spansive* rear end, and wore very loose moo-moos came in to sit on my sister's bed where we were all playing, and sat down ontop of my cousin's favorite stuffed animal. We all exclaimed urgently "Gram'ma the kitty! THE KITTY, Gram'ma!", and thinking she had by accident let our REAL cat out of the room, she stood up and went waddling out of our room into the rest of the Christmas party of Adults, Parents, Aunties and Uncles calling "Here Kitty kitty kitty..." with that stuffed kitty still stuck facefirst in the crack between her butt-cheeks... waddling through the house.
This is no urban legend, it happened. i have since seen a greeting card depicting the very same thing, and wondered "who told!?"
For my sis' and cuz' and me, the vision of that will forever be etched in our ticklebones, along with more than a little guilt regarding the hysterical hilarity that prevented us from telling G'ma... to straighten out her moo-moo.

p.s. Thanks for the hoot, Bobby. Yours IS funny.
