My ex-husband’s dad had Alzheimer’s and lost pretty much any kind of filter to say things the nice way. It was definitely sad in many ways, but in some ways it seemed to make him really easy going and kind of hilarious. I didn’t know him before he got sick, but he had been in the military and apparently he had always been kind of a hard ass no nonsense type on the surface.

He never remembered us when we would visit, and one of the last times we went to visit him before he passed away, we were all sitting together at a table in a fairly comfortable silence.

Out of nowhere about half way through the visit he kind of looked at me for a second but didn’t say anything. Then he turned to look at my ex and did the thing where you point with your thumb over the your shoulder without looking at whatever you’re talking about and just said “She’s got big tits.” in the most matter of fact way. Like he was pointing out a feature on a car he had noticed while walking by.

In any other situation that would have been highly offensive and awkward, but in that situation it became one of the funniest moments of my life.
