Finished the windows and knocked on the door.
"Yes? have you come to do the books?"
No, I've just cleaned your windows.
"I thought there were three of you just now"
 ??? no, just me.
"I'll get my purse"
She comes back with the TV Times
"How much is it?"

She then turns over two pages of the magazine
"There you go"
Thanks very much
"Bye"

Sounds about as bizarre as a conversation I had with a 94 year old customer when she tried to pay me with cutlery. When I told her I had all the cutlery I needed at home she insisted that the bank would change it for me.

She's got Parkinsons but has always been ok in the past, guess it's gone to her brain now. Sad really.

Not nice .
My dad has MS , worked hard all his life , paid his way and now it frustrates him as he still tries to be active and play with my kids .

Old age can be tough .

Enjoy life and good health we take it for granted

I had a old lady open the front window as I was cleaning the front of the house,  and said let me pay you. Then when I got to the back windows she opened the back one and said let me pay you, before I forget. ;D When going back around the front, you know whats coming  ;D ;D ;D

So spent all day going around that house  ;D, only joking.

I've put those in the bank as I'm sure I could get away with it too.
Mind you I will probably forget anyhow after typing this as my short term memory is shocking. ;D
