Try Something New?

Oh..to experience something that causes you to laugh out loud is such fun.  To be able to laugh again at a later time by merely 'reflecting back' on the occasion is a joy.
Quick background:  My mom, Florence, is 100 years old and lives with me.  Four years ago following a stroke that majorly affected her right side, Mom has joined the lefties and is pretty good at maneuvering forks and spoons.  St Nic is a wonderful caregiver [sometimes affectionately referred to as 'What's her Name?"] who helps us in many ways, and breakfast is one of them. Florence has always valued that first meal of the day, and yet she is not among the daring who will try tasting new things.  Here we go:
We are gathered at the table this morning.  Nic and I are at the ends and Flo, in her wheelchair, is rolled up to the other side that is between us. Flo has her 'little bit' of cereal with fruit and had declared that she couldn't eat any more. Nic was finishing her toast and  I had mixed together Greek yogurt, fresh blueberries, and some cereal for a bit of crunch.  It was a lumpy, bumpy, purple undefinable nutritious substance...my breakfast.
Knowing full well what Mom's response would be, I whispered to Nic,
"Watch this."
I scooped out a spoonful of my breakfast delight and headed it in my mom's direction,
"Mom, how 'bout tasting some of this?"
In a heartbeat, she made an indescribable panicked face.  Simultaneously, she straightened and auto-locked her knees as she hit the escape hatch to begin to slide off the wheelchair heading for under the table.
Nic and I had to jump up to thwart Mom's exit drill.  We expected the 'face', but underestimated that sweet- mannered 100 year-old's adrenaline rush.  There was no way she was going to have anything to do with...what the heck was that?
Safety established, we were blessed with hysterical laughter...again...and again. It was extremely funny. 
And there you have it...unscripted and delightful entertainment.
Thanks, Florence. 
You are too funny.
