Dr. Pepper and Charades

Funny story from this morning....

Karen got here and Dad woke up soon after. So we asked him if he wanted some Dr. Pepper. He was thrilled with that idea until we told him that it had to be "thickened" before he could try it. The nurses gave us some powder to put in any drinks that he might want. So I mixed up a cup of Dr. Pepper gel/soup/mush and tested it to make sure it would come through a straw. I put the straw up to his mouth and he kept sucking on it and laughing. We thought he was laughing because it was gross. So I took it away and he kept kind of laughing and trying to tell us something. We just couldn't understand him and kept guessing and he would just laugh and shake his head. So finally I said, "Did you even get to taste the Dr. Pepper?" And he said, "No!" LOL! I guess I made it a little too thick. So we added some more DP and fed it to him with a spoon. He said it didn't taste anything like DP, but that he still wanted it. Pretty funny. It was good to see him having some laughs for a minute.

He's pretty worn out from the Dr. Pepper confusion and has konked out now.
