"Why are you in hospital today?" I ask the little old lady
She looks up at me, smiles, makes eye contact, and says, "yes"
"But why are you here?" ... "yes" she smiles
"WHY?" ... "yes"
I smile, lean in close, and shout in her ear, "WHY ... ARE ... YOU ... HERE?"
"Oh, I got up after my afternoon nap and I was shaking all over, I just couldn't get warm" she says in her soft little voice.
And I thought she was confused.

She probably thought you were pretty confused too.
I was starting to get that vibe ... her last 'yes' sounded very patronising.
