My mom butchers names of everything. Is this the beginning of Alzheimer's?

She's never been amazing with names, but it's getting to the point where we all have a key in our head to translate what she means.

Texas Land & Cattle = Salt Grass
Log Cabin = Hungry Jack
Chipotle = local Mexican restaurant

It seriously has gotten to the point where I have no idea what the frick she is talking about half the time because restaurants, stores, street names, etc. are all fricked up. Other than that, she's smart and makes sense. But this, especially over the holidays, is driving me insane.

That's not too bad, people just get older and say frick it. They know what they mean.

Old age, but as long as she isn't saying walmarks, you're fine

Stop taking your mom to shitty restaurants, she is trying to send you a message

It's just old age. At least your mom is still attempting names. My parents refer to all inanimate objects as "things" now.

There's a big difference between just regular old "blanking" and Alzheimer's.

Here's a tip, never start a title with "my mom".


Also I had sex with your mom, I give her a C-.

I had a very tasteful joke, but I can't remember what it was.

All you do is play on that facebox and sleep all day. You need to get a job.

My dad has done this since I was a kid, I imagine it's nothing to worry about.

It's shite I've never heard of that makes no sense.

"What about going to Buckboards for dinner?"

"It's called Long Branch, dad"

It could be any number of conditions. I have end stage liver disease and one of the symptoms is just forgetting random sometimes really common stuff, even things like names.

I'd definitely have her get a checkup and blood work.

My grandma called Bobby Jindal "Bobby Jingle" constantly

I would suggest you pay attention to the little things to see how often it happens.
Her PCP can do a mental acuity test if you are that concerned.

My parents do that shite and it drives me nuts. The one that my mom butchered recently was satsumas into so-mott-sues. It blows my mind some of the pronunciations she comes up with

The specific thing is that she is not aware of not knowing. Like when I'm not sure I know shite, I'm sure I'm not sure. You know?
