Yesterday Shannon had a project for her old people class. She had to walk around with cotton balls in her ears to simulate hearing loss and petroleum jelly over her glasses to simulate cataracts. I wanted to just go all out and tie a scarf over her eyes, but no. It was funny because I was trying to revise her English paper at the time and I kept going, "That sentence doesn't look right, don't you think...?" And Shannon would be like, "I don't know. There's a cloud over half the words!" Oops. I eventually remembered to just read it to her instead of telling her to look at things. But some of it I really felt needed looking at, because it was all convoluted. We muddled through it and she managed to finish both the assignments.
Oh, also, I felt really not old because I got carded buying cigarettes on Friday. I know, I'm such an enabler, but I felt bad because she was all sickly. And then I felt just a little bit good about getting carded. But today I bought some snuff for a guy at work who is also sickly right now and requested it, and I did not get carded. I am apparently a sucker for sick people.

I have to say that I am not sure how I feel about you buying tobacco products for sick people. It seems like that might just make things... uh.... worse. Or something.
I know. I was asking the guy who wanted snuff why that was better than smoking and he said it doesn't hurt your lungs. I was like, it says right on the container that it's bad for your teeth and gums! Also, gross! If you want something that tastes like wintergreen in your mouth, have some gum or mints.
