It's NOT to get caught by curious old people, but I managed to record this intriguing and confusing dialog straight from the nursing home.


Old lady: "Just a little more wrinkled"
Old man: "No more of that"
-lady mumbles-
OM: "That's what I thought"
OL: "Yeah"
OM: "Drop the cat, too?"
OL: "Yeah .These kids really go at it. Are they all boys?" (talking about my little [girl] cousins.)
OM: "Yeah, that's what boys do."
OL: "Huh. See you manyana."
OM: "What?"
OL: "Manyana."
OM: "What?"
OL: "Tomorrow is Sunday. Manyana."
OM: "Oh."
OL: "I'm not sure it's manyana. It sounds like that."
OM: "Oh."
-old lady rolls off in her wheelchair saying "I trust you didn't let anyone walk down this hall."
-Nurse comes up-
Nurse: "Ted, can you move?"
OM (Ted): "What?"
N: "Move out of the way!"
Ted: "Oh ok. Pardon me."
N: "Man, what's wrong with people these days!?"
Ted: "You're fat!"
N: "What'd you say, Ted?"
Ted: "You're fat."
N: "Ted, those are fightin' words!"
Ted: "Oh! Don't hit me!"
N: "I told you not to call be fat. I'm not fat."
-Nurse leaves, old lady 2 enters-
Ted: "A cough, a cough... Wait, why'd I say 'a cough'?"
OL: "Hiuh?"
Ted: "Wait a minute."
OL: "I'll see you later."
Ted: "Wait a minute! You stay RIGHT THERE!"
-pause-
Ted: "GOD DANG IT!"
-pause-
Ted: "I like butter, it's better. Ohhh."
OL: "Bye"
Ted: "I know we aren't good for something."
OL: "Ohhhh."





So there you have it. A look into the strange world of old person conversations.
