I’m a girl scout, and part of a badge I’m doing requires me to create a “communication” between me and someone at a nursing home. SInce I don’t know anyone in a nursing home, and my friends don’t either… I asked my teacher. She had mentioned her grandfather before. She said “sure, he’d like that”. I want to know, what do I write to him about!!?? My teacher visits him once a week, every week, and therefore will be bringing him his letters, and he may write back! He’s 80 something, diabetic, and has 1 leg amputated, so he’s in a wheel chair. What do I write to him?? ANY IDEAS??!
Do you ask her if she just pee-ed in her seat?
Do you ask her if her name is written on the chair?
Do you convince her the chair is “first butt first served”?
Do you tell her to payfor the chair?
What would you have done if you are in charge? 
Except for their own beds/wheelchairs, others are “public property” funded by donors and well-wishers. And what if you have 3 or 4 who wants to reserve a particular chair?? You end up playing judge. You SIMPLY can’t give in. See my logic?
