re: What kind of stuff does your elderly parents do that makes you ask them why?

Dad is gonna be 74 on August 1st. Overall healthy as an ox but deaf as can be and won't wear his hearing aids "cause the damn batteries keep going dead." Tends to happen if you never charge them. He posts on Facebook like a teenage girl and clicks every friggin link. I've had to make him 4 profiles now and I tell him every time to not accept friend requests from people he doesn't know and quit clicking on every. single. post.

Since he's deaf, you can pull up in his yard on any random day and you'll be able to hear the tv crystal clear from the driveway. No sense in knocking on the door, so just walk on in. I always have to go in first, leaving the wife and kids outside, since, more than likely, he'll be in his recliner in his tighty whiteys.
