Ladies at the nursing home hear a titillating rumor.
A chapter in the book Phone Calls from Caroline
Just Keep Your Towel Handy!
by BethShelby
My 93-year-old cousin just called from the Alzheimer’s unit of her nursing home to tell me the nurses have lost the keys to the ladies showers. She says all the old men are on the prowl. I don’t know what she expected me to do about it from three hours away, unless she figured I might want to rush right over.
I doubt there are locks on the showers. She hung up on me when I suggested some bored aide might have started a rumor to put some excitement into another boring day. Fact is more entertaining than fiction

My Word counter say exactly 100 words. Laughter might be in poor taste but sometimes it better than crying. There is a enough fiction here to qualify it.
