Would you consider someone who calls the police on the Chick Fil A cow of sound mind?

Can’t believe I’m writing this post.

my great aunt is nearing 70 and has been insisting on living on her own despite multiple attempts by us to condemn her into an elder care facility. She’s clearly losing it, and it is hard to watch.

Last night, she thought some “thugs” had graffitied the billboard outside of her house and called the police. I was swinging by to drop off a basket of eggs at her house when the cops arrived and asked what was going on. She pointed out to me a billboard with one of those Chick Fil A ads that have that dumbass cow who paints slogans like “Eat Mur Chiken.” She thought that was gang graffiti.

I got my sister on the phone and we basically told her this was confirmation that she was losing touch with reality and she got really mad and said that it was an honest mistake. Again, we insisted that she be placed in a home where she could be looked after and she began to weep and stormed inside.

15 minutes later she came outside and seemed totally okay, then looked up at the billboard and said “those damn thugs are at it again.”

Me and my sister told this to my baby brother, who a few years back had swindled us out of family control as head of the household, and he said it was just “old people syndrome” and that it was not a big deal. We can’t put her into a facility without his permission, and I’m losing my mind trying to convince him. Any reasonable person would say she’s lost it, right?
