Seeing a stand-up comedian might be a good idea. We wouldn't take mil, though. We don't even like to take her out to dinner anymore. H may want to take her out just because it is Mother's Day, I'm not sure. She has Alzheimer's and is having a very difficult time understanding anything or getting around. She can barely hear or see. She trips easily. She lives at a nearby Healthcare Center, but we usually pick her up one weekend day. We used to take her shopping with us and could leave her in a chair. She was happy people watching. Now she barely has the ability to make it from the car to a place to sit. She does have a wheelchair we could use if necessary. Another problem is incontinence. That is something we avoid having to deal with in a public place--even with Depends.
If H does want to take her out, maybe we could take her out this weekend and the rest of us go next weekend.
I would like to surprise H with tickets to a comedy club, but I don't know how I can do that without checking with H about his mother. Actually, the Comedy Club may have to be for just H and me anyway. The drinking age here is 21. I don't know of a comedy club here that isn't also a drinking establishment.
