Hoping she will be well cared for, a family puts their frail elderly mother into a nursing home.
The next morning, the nurses bathe her, feed her a tasty breakfast and put her in a chair at a window overlooking a lovely flower garden.
She seems okay, but after a while she slowly starts to fall over sideways in her chair. Two attentive nurses immediately rush up to catch her and straighten her up. Again she seems okay, but after a while she starts to tilt to the other side. The nurses rush back and once more bring her back upright. This goes on all morning.
Later the family arrives to see how the old woman is adjusting to her new home.
“So, Ma, how is it here? Are they treating you all right?” they ask.
“It’s pretty nice,” she replies, “Except they won’t let you fart.”
On the other hand…
“And so, freaked out about the coming election, they moved to France and lived happily ever after."
Missed the bit at the bottom!
