Joke: "Are You okay Ma?"..
One day a family make the tough decision of putting their frail, elderly mother into a nursing home. They drop her off and promise to be back the next day to check up on her and make sure she is well cared for.
The next morning the nurses bathe her, feed her a lovely nutritious breakfast and sit her up in a chair at the window, overlooking the lovely gardens.
She seems quite happy there, but after a while she slowly starts to lean over sideways in her chair. Two attentive nurses immediately rush up to catch her and straighten her up.
A short while later she begins to tilt back to the other side. Again the nurses rush over and bring her back upright. This goes on all morning.
Later, the family arrive to see how their beloved old ma is adjusting to her new home. They ask her how she's been treated and she smiles and says 'okay dear' as a rather pained expression comes across her face. The family aren't convinced so they immediately ask to speak to the head nurse who assures them that their mother's fine and is being well cared for.
Confused they go back to their mother and ask, 'are you sure they're treating you well here ma, and are you happy?'
'Yes', she says, .....then pauses and beckons her son closer as she whispers in his ear....
'But they won't let you fart'.
