My wife had just come home from having major cancer surgery on her mouth. She temporarily required feeding of a nutritional supplement by means of a nose tube to her stomach. One day, a good friend of hers came by for a visit while I was getting ready to fix her “evening meal”. While they were talking, I called in from the kitchen to ask (our private joke) if she wanted steak or lobster and she answered, “I’ll have steak, I had lobster last night”. She and her friend kept right on talking while setting up the apparatus for feeding her.
About a week later, the friend returned to see my wife again. During the week, her elderly mother had come for a visit and she told us that her mother had also need a nutritional supplement . She had gone to the drug store and inquired about the brand we used. Apparently “our private joke” had completely gone over head, as she complained, “All they had was chocolate, strawberry and vanilla.
