Ten Ways to Keep Your Old Geezer Busy
© 2004 copyright Raymond C. Evans
1 Hide the car keys, then ask him to go to the store.
2 Get him started on a jig saw puzzle, then when he’s not looking, trade some pieces with a different puzzle.
3 Hide his glasses and then hand him the newspaper.
4 Ask him to trim the hair out of his ears.
5 Ask him to trim the hair out of his nose.
6 Hide the TV remote.
7 Ask him to stoke the gas furnace.
8 Splash a little water under the kitchen sink and tell him to fix the leak.
9 Leave the faucet running just enough to make it drip, then ask him to fix the dripping faucet.
10 Splash a little water under the bathroom sink, then ask him when he’s going to fix it, like you asked him to, last week. "This will keep him busy thinking that he’s losing his mind”
Contrary to what most old geezers believe, a busy geezer is a happy geezer. It’s your responsibility to keep him busy. If your old geezer is just a “leisure geezer”, you may have to form a strategy to make him an “eager geezer”.
Doctor Phil would most likely tell you that it’s really your fault for his condition, you may have spoiled him, and you weren’t put on this earth just to be a “geezer pleaser”.
