Weird people...

while the news is currently flooded with saddening events, we decided to seek humour in the little things.

Well, not exactly little.

On Friday's Straits Times, there was an article that reported on the current situation of the wife of our leader, hospitalised due to a sudden stroke.

Their daughter reported the following of her mother..

'Her intelligence is not affected, but physical movements may be frustrating,'

After serious consideration at this odd statement, i realised how incomprehensible it was.

I can't imagine asking the doctor, when my parent gets wheeled out of the operating theatre, "Doctor, is my mom still intelligent?" instead of "is my mom fine?"

Does it really matter more that the intelligence being affected or the health?

Ivy says it matters to THE family.

probably.

So maybe we would expect the following in near times too..
"Pronounced dead. But intelligence still not affected."
