All the ladies in the Nursing Home were sitting together, waiting for the entertainment for the Tuesday afternoon. Usually someone came and played music for them, but today was something different.
A young man came in with some laptops, that he set up on tables for them.
"Come along ladies. I have something new for you to try!"
His name was Mark and he was introducing them to shopping on the Internet. He even allocated them $20 - each that they were given from the Nursing Home to do some shopping online. They could practice with anything.
The first lady, Brenda, sat at the computer.
"OK then - what would you like?"
"Wait a second Mark while I get out my Grocery list."
She shuffled in her bag. Inside was a large piece of paper. OK - M & M's for starters, family size bag. Oreos 5 packs, Chips 5 packs."
He looked at the list - "Who on earth is this for?"
"Me sweetheart!! Do you think I eat the crappy food this place serves up? I just chuck it in the bin and eat my own when I get to my room."
He just laughed - "I don't think your twenty dollars will cover this. When I get back we'll go through online grocery shopping and get some of these things." He looked at the other residents. They all had the same list. Maybe he needed to speak to the kitchen.
He left temporarily to go get a drink and a cigarette. One of the other residents sat next to Brenda.
"We don't need him. Let's start shopping."
"We don't have our credit information yet Mary."
Mary smiled - "We don't need it. His card was sitting on the table nearby. Come on - before he gets back. I want chocolate!!!"
