Tuesdays With Pappo.....on Thursday.
April 12, 2024
Pappo Has Been Incarcerated.
Or so he says. When we first moved Pappo 2 years ago from his home of 60+ years in Garland to his new community in Keene (a community he always said he wanted to live in, by-the-way), he pointed towards his new apartment building and firmly stated to his new son-in-law Wayne, "That's where they're incarcerating me."
Such a drama king.
He was half kidding/half serious at the time, but two years later, he's still using that as his "catch phrase" whenever he wants a reaction. Us three kids just roll our eyes.
Truth is, he has great friends living among him here. The women love that he kisses the tops of their heads in the dining room and tells them how pretty they are. He has coffee with the men. He leaves sweet notes for the dining staff on his napkin. And he has become quite "settled" in and happy here.
Last week, he said he wanted to put a picture of himself behind bars on his apartment door. His "Incarceration" has become his identity here. So I thought to myself..."If he's going to talk the talk....I'm going to walk the walk" and surprised him yesterday with a picture of himself behind bars that is now proudly hanging outside his door with the sign, "Can't Fix Stupid".
Yep.....Welcome to Cell 108!
