Mom: Yes, he's a judge on American Idol. I like him. I think he's good.
Funny, right?
Nicole Kidman wasn't Tom Cruise's first wife. She was his second wife.
Wow. Thanks for that.

This IS what this means. It refers to a wad of cash.
Boner used to mean a mistake, too.
It very much no longer meant that when she was saying it. Wad def. didn't refer to cash anymore!
It would definitely be the equivalent of shouting out "Everyone saw your boner last night." to your teenaged son today. NO ONE would think you meant everyone witnessed him making a mistake, lol.

My beloved grandmother was widowed for years before she passed away. She used to say that all the single men were after were her money, or a roll in the hay. LOL Nana!

In such a predicament, either you laugh when you can or cry all the time and end up on Zoloft. Choose one.
What a sad twisted view...

People are funny. This is a thread about a particular group of people and their unique - often sweet, charming, and even adorable - ways of being funny.
No. You are making fun of your parents, grandparents, and
all elderly people and it is mean.
+1000
And to 19:23 I sincerely hope you never suffer from dementia, but if you do you will find it is by no means a "hoot".
There is nothing even remotely kind about laughing at the expense of others. You have to be a real bitch to think someone's mental decline is amusing.

Grandma smoked for 40 years, a lot, and had to stop cold-turkey during/after a hospital stay, suffering from dementia and a heart problem.
She had some nice B&W John Wayne westerns on the hospital TV, when John Wayne said "Boy could I use a cigarette."
Grandma promptly stopped chatting with the visitors/nurses and said "Me too!"
and then never mentioned cigarettes again...

Lol.
My dad was a civil engineer. His mother always thought he worked on a train.
