The same can be said for someone who would use the vacuum cleaner attachments to get crushed graham crackers out of a four-year old’s hair. Don’t ask me why he would crush graham crackers into his hair in the ?rst place. He was probably distracted. I have been known to ?nd, in March, a gift that I meant to give to my husband the past Christmas. Oh well. It was only a thermal leak detector… whatever that is. It’s what he asked for, for Pete’s sake. It certainly wasn’t my idea. So, maybe my husband is a bit dotty as well. If you are between the ages of 15 and 65, you may be concerned that people may call you dotty behind your back. You really don’t have to worry about it unless you: 1. Wander around looking for your keys only to realize they are in your hand. 2. Instead of taking sinus medication, you swallow a laxative by mistake. 3. Dunk your donut in your soup instead of your coffee. 4. Pour Froot Loops into the cat’s bowl. 5. Drive around a traf?c circle twice before you remember where you are going. 6. Walk into a teahouse and realize that your dress has the exact pattern of the tablecloths. Until you ?nd yourself doing all of these, you have not achieved dotty status. If you have done one of these every month or so, your relatives will consider your antics a good topic for family get-togeth- Jo i n U Title VII Indian Education Parent Information Meeting May 11th at 6pm Vermillion Middle School Commons s! P The English language contains many words and expression to describe people that are just not right; two of the most common being “crazy” and “a little off.” There are degrees of craziness, though. That is why we are constantly trying to ?nd new ways to explain just how crazy someone is. A person who acts oddly in a social situation may be one brick shy of a full load or not playing with a full deck. A person who forgets their own address or how to add two numbers is called senile if they are over 65 and distracted when they are under 15. Anyone between those ages has no excuse. They have simply lost their marbles. It is no longer enough to simply say, “She’s crazy!” Your listener will be waiting to hear to what degree she is crazy. Is she just a little ?ighty or is she a full-blown, card-carrying, needs-medication lunatic? There are times when I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that I am a full-blown lunatic, because it would explain so many things. But no, there has been no diagnosis of lunacy. It could be that my doctor simply doesn’t know me very well. To be fair, I haven’t caught myself bashing my head against a door frame or chewing on my pajama sleeves, so maybe there is some hope. The British have the perfect word to describe someone like me: Dotty. “She’s a bit dotty, you know, but harmless just the same.” Dotty. That’s what you call someone who slathers her hands with 1655 Houses For Sale Mobile Homes For Sale For Sale: Mobile Home in nice quiet park area. 1022 Kim Lane-Vermillion.

If you have done all of them in one day, your relatives will consider you to be just plain bonkers and will start the process of procuring long-term care for you. You will be fortunate to make it to 65 before they have discovered your dottiness. After 65, you will have a perfectly good reason for it. I would not be surprised if my dottiness someday blossoms into Alzheimer’s disease. I will be able to hide my own Easter eggs and sleep with a different man every night. It could be good. But then, only a dotty person would say Alzheimer’s could be good. Laura Snyder is a nationally syndicated columnist, author & speaker.
