Today I went to an elderly daycare to pick up one of my residents. I was a bit frazzled because she had been left there past her pick-up time by accident. As I ran in I was greeted by a very small elderly woman who smacked my in the arse and began speaking so quickly in what I thought was Mandarin (Chinese? Japanese perhaps?). She stopped and looked at me very expectantly, as I, even more frazzled now, looked toward the lady at the front desk who stated, “Evidently Miss [I missed her name entirely still feeling a little sting on my bum] would like you to give her a ride home.”
To which I replied, “Please apologize to her, as I can’t, but let her know I am impressed, disturbed and still a bit shocked by her asking tactics.”
