Grandma likes her naps. She would go to sleep at 8:30 in the evening and set her alarm to wake up at 5:30 am. I thought that was a lot of sleep for someone her age, but then she also takes about six naps a day.
I had wrote down television channels that she liked and could punch the number in to go to that channel, instead of trying to operate the remote. She had it so messed up we had to have a technician straighten it out. She liked mostly westerns and the Catholic channel.
So, every half hour, she would turn the television on to a show she liked, doze off for a 10 minute nap or so. Wake up, turn the television back off and say she doesn’t watch it, but she knows what time all of her programs come on…
Sometimes she would watch a show for a whole half hour before turning it off. And yes, we did have to replace the bulb in the television because all that on and off, blew it out. That’s what the technician said. (smirk)
Even at night, when we would sit down to watch some television, she would fall asleep through the evening. She says she never naps.
However, when she would see my husband, Tom, in his easy chair with his feet up, starting to snore, she would bump his feet and say, “Don’t you have some work to do?” We didn’t nap, that’s for sure.
Tom said when he was little, Grandma would be outside for a while giving orders to the family what to do around their dairy farm. He said when he would go into the house for something, she was always napping in a chair. Hmmm…I think Grandma has always liked her naps.
