Who’s Zoomin’ Who?

by Barry Roberts

I have an elderly aunt and uncle who had a rather interesting encounter recently. My aunt has had some health problems of late and has, as a result, had some fainting spells over the past year or two.

One evening, not so long ago, while my aunt was sitting on a bench at the foot of her bed and as she was dressing, she began to faint. Fortunately my uncle entered the room and saw her falling. He caught her seconds before she hit her head on the tile floor!

As he was holding her in his arms and patting her cheek, she started to come around. When he saw her eyes opening, he needed to make sure she was lucid and so he began shouting, “Sally! Look at me! What’s my name! What’s my name?”

Aunt Sally meanwhile, was now awake and had no idea that she had just fainted. Her only thought was, “Oh my goodness, what’s wrong with Harry…was is he asking me what his name is?”
