Margie: Edna, I went visiting over to the nursing home today and I'm sure glad I did. I don't think people are grateful enough for their health and mental well-being so everyone should visit the elderly sometimes.
I was ashamed of myself for complaining so much because those elderly folks can get in bad shape. Sister, it wouldn't hurt you to pay a visit there then you might quit being so grumpy.
Edna: Margie, you're the reason I'm grumpy and that's the truth. Still, you're right in that it wouldn't hurt to go visiting at the old folks home. You and I have each other, but some of those people have family who planted them there and then forgot about them. Now that's just a crying shame. I think they'd like to see a smiling face like mine every now and then, don't you?
Margie: Edna, I'm sorry to say that they probably would be glad to see even your ugly mug. Just try not to scare them.
Edna: And this is why you drive a body crazy. I try and have a serious conversation with you and all you can do is insult me. At least if I go visit the elderly, they won't argue with me and say mean things.
Margie: You're right, sister, so I'll call and reserve you a room right now.
Edna: Fine by me, you harpy. As long as you don't come visit.

Now, girls, here you are doing a really sweet thing and then you're fussing with each other. You know I just had my 66th birthday on Sunday and I'm getting nervous that I may end up in one of those homes pretty soon myself. You can come visit me anything...and bring ALL of the Margidales...in their dancing speedos.
