A Laugh With Mom

I bring my mother a couple bottles of Ensure each day. She usually drinks both of them while I am there.

When she gets toward the end of the bottle, I have to encourage her to tip the bottle up higher so she gets it all in her mouth.  I sometimes do this by demonstrating with the (covered) bottle myself.

Yesterday I did the demonstration and said, "Tip it up high, high, high..." in a high voice.

When Mom took the bottle from me she did exactly what I had done — even saying the comment in the high voice.

Then she looked at me and started laughing! Mom doesn't have many moments where shades of her "old self" shine through, so this was pretty special.

I laughed with her.
