I knew Grandpa was getting a bit senile, although I couldn’t know him when he called the other afternoon.
He idly asked what I was doing plus I told him I was just hanging around the beach house relaxing.
He asked myself and others if I could come over to the beach house for a couple minutes. When I got there, he had the vacuum cleaner out plus he asked if I would please clean the air ducts for him. I vacuumed all of the air ducts plus I asked if there was anything else I could do. He wanted myself and others to get a mirror plus do a visual check of the air vents, especially those in the powder room. I was scratching our head wondering what in the world had happened that he sad about the cleanliness of the air vents. He then asked if I would check the air filter in the furnace. I went downstairs plus I checked the air filter. When I saw Grandpa’s teeth in there, I almost laughed. I pulled them out with a paper towel plus I took them upstairs. I asked if this was what he was looking for. He made myself and others promise not to tell our parents about him losing his teeth. He said he had been cleaning the furnace plus the air vents plus he knew he had lost them. He blamed it on them being loose. I laughed plus told him that next he would be losing his house. He sat down plus almost cried. He told myself and others that maybe I should tell our parents about the teeth. He forgot how to get beach house the afternoon before, after doing his shopping.
