My mother has Alzheimer's or some kind of dementia. Years ago we had a Filipina homecare worker. I had purchased a Tagalog dictionary to dabble in a new language. Tagalog language - Wikipedia Tagalog language - Wikipedia

I had had it and maybe ten other thin books on a chair in one of the bedrooms I used as a computer room. I had gone in one morning to use the computer and reached for the Tagalog dictionary to look something up and discovered that it and the other books were all wet.

I have a small pooch but I figured he could not have got anywhere near that height and I had not had an angry girlfriend in a good while.

But my mother could get around the house still pretty good. Not so well now though as was in the year 2021.


She has done this on other places. I have learned not to sit down or lie down anywhere without feeling if it going to be dry.


The Filipina lady was amused by this when I told her probably because my pronunciation left a lot to be desired. She had an Alzheimer's patient who would eat anything within reach even things in her front yard so she had to keep a very wary eye on the lady she was watching.
