What is fun? I can remember going out on New Year's Eve and telling my elderly Mom and Dad to join us. Mom said,"No, you go and have fun, we have done that before and prefer to stay home for New Years." Now I understand the saying, "Been there, done that." Not to be a party pooper, but my idea of fun has changed today too. Then again, it depends who you are with to consider it being fun. Too many times, Dave and I went with friends to a noisy nightclub and suffered the boredom of waiting for midnight. Then other times, the time flys, the conversation flows and it doesn't matter if the place is noisey.
Today, Dave is content to watch TV all day or to sleep. I have learned that his brain does not process very fast so it is easier for him to sleep than to keep up with a conversation or an action movie, He loves to watch old movies, ones he has seen many times. His short-term memory has forgotten that he just saw that old movie but somehow it is familiar and pleasant for him to watch. I try to remember that we are on different planets when it comes to having fun. Maybe he is content and is saying,"you go and have fun I have been there and done that."
