Laughter

Truly is a great medicine.
Last night, we went to bed by 8:30. We were not sleepy so we lay and talked a while.
David began laughing and laughing. He told me of his day and how he teased his clients.

To set the scene. Walter is an old man, only 62, but Old beyond his years, He is very meticulious. He is very white, as in very pale. Walter is short.
Billy is tall, dark hair, and is very active. Billy can barely speak, he calls a cat a "moew moew".
So forever David has called them twin brothers.
Yesterday Walter was standing in front of a mirror fixing a piece of hair out of place.

David "Look at Walter, he is looking at Billy to fix his hair, Like looking in a mirror, huh Walter?"
Walter "I am not looking at Billy, David, This is a mirror."
David, "No it is not, that is Billy you are looking at, see you even get confused."

It goes on and on,

Walter is leaning against the wall.
David walks in, "Walter step away from the wall, come on hurry up."
Walter moves up about 3 feet.
David says "Good we dont want you rubbing ugly all over the place."

David is stiing in the break room, Walter is behind him, "You know guys I am sure missing Walter, he was such a good old man,"
Walter "David I am here".
David, "poor walter to die like that"
Walter," David I am here."
David igores him he says "Walter was so kind you know I can almost hear his voice, listen, you may hear him too, like his spirit is in the walls."
Walter, "David I am not dead, I am here I really am,"
David, "See did any of you hear that?'
Walter walks us and taps him on the shoulder, David turns and does not see him, just said he felt a tap.
HE lauged and lauged about that joke he pulled.

One that really got me was he calls them retarded, One of the house staff got in trouble for doing that, David said, "I do that all time,"
Response was "Yes but you care about them and they love it from you."
He told me "Billy was winding a weedeater, he was holding it between his knees to steady it." David called everyones attention,
He said "Everyone look, this is a perfect example of a retarded person." Then he outlined Billy's profile.
Billy just looked up and laughed.
He said, he has never had this much fun on a job, the clients keep him laughing and he keeps them loving to come to work.

So have fun and Please dont call anyone a retard. Unless they love you a LOT.
