Okay...this goes on the border of bad...but take it in a funny light. Imagine a sweet little old 95 year old lady, 90 lbs soaking wet and really doesn't talk all that much...but like I say..watch those quiet ones...

SO my CNA was taking my patient to the activities room for a game of botchi ball (??? Never seen it myself either, but the residents love it, and even bed bound people put in geri chairs can play...so cool!).

The CNA asks the patient what is botchi ball...very curious to what it is.

Her responce was "well..you see, we all take turns hitting a ball around to other people...but I tire so easily that I just tickle the balls around...and play with the bat".

Okay...that is a normal responce, and my CNA didn't read between the lines...well too bad one of my other CNA'S heard it...looked at the patient who was about to die laughing..and busted up!

Try explaining that one to your CNA....and yes...she ASKED ME! LOL. I said "honey, you have 3 children right...use your imagination..and yes, she was trying to shock you!"....

Took a while..she got it and she was sooooooooo red! LOL!
