Conversation with my dad regarding the newly crowned independent living facility King & Queen:

ME: So you didn’t get voted king this year? How is that possible?

NICK: Nope. John and Grace won. And John doesn’t even know as many people as I do – he’s got dementia! Guess you gotta have dementia to win around here! I say, “John, what’s my name?” He says, “Ummmm…ummm…” “Nick is my name! He can’t remember anyone’s names and he wins? He’s Italian. Those Italians all stick together.”
