My Grandma still wants to feel Young Again

It seems the idea of old age is scary, no one wants to be addressed as frail even when there's visible evidence. One of such people is my grandma, no one knows her age, even herself, she can only recall the events that happened in the period she was born. The funny thing is that she doesn't believe she's old. She lost memories of people and things and can no longer walk because she's old, but one thing she has never really forgotten is that she's a young girl. She doesn't fail to tell us stories of days when she trekked to distant places for a week or day and how she can still do that- a talk Coming from a woman who can no longer stand.

One of the funny things she does is to collect empty bottles. We've always wondered what she was collecting these empty bottles for, piling them in her room until she told us she is hoping to start selling drinks when she starts walking again. It was funny that she still believes she can walk and that her inability to walk was for a short time. No one dare carry any of those empty bottles else it would be a big fight. She's frail and easily lost memory but her mouth is still very active. She can insult the hell out of anyone and in a minute she had forgotten everything that transpired. She'll be like "she never said anything, she can't even remember talking" and no one dares tell her she forgot and that she's old, if you don't want to be an enemy of her.
