There was an old man whose family could no longer take care of him. So the family decided that a nursing would be appropriate. Of course the old man rejected the idea, but his family persuaded him it was the best thing he could do.
On his first day at the home, he spent most of his time laying in bed reflecting on life, feeling lonely. Eventually, an orderly stopped by to see how the old man's first day was going.
"How you doing today?" she asked the old man, "I see it's your first day." The old man replied with a nod.
In no time the two began talking up a storm. As the conversation continued, the orderly was eyeing the room filled with fresh flowers, cards and balloons from friends and relatives. She noticed a bowl full of shelled peanuts sitting on top of the table next to the bed, and helped herself to a handful.
As the two continued to converse with each other, the orderly kept eating more helpings of the peanuts. Finally, she looked at her watch and noticed that nearly two hours had passed. "My goodness," she said, "The time has gone by quickly. I have to tend to other people here, too."
"That's okay," said the old man, "I feel much better being able to talk to someone."
Looking at the bowl of peanuts the orderly said, "I feel awful! I ate almost all of your peanuts!"
The old man responded, "That's okay. Ever since I got these false teeth, all I can do was suck the chocolate off them anyhow."
