4 Bumps

I think my Grandmother is Senile

So, to make a long story short, I have a three year old named Alice that I had when I was eighteen and I have adopted a baby girl named Molly, who is now two months old. The birthmom to my youngest daughter is a 17yo girl that I babysat for when she was little named Carol. My boyfriend proposed to me on Super Bowl Sunday and I called my grandmother, on my dad's side, to tell her that I was getting married and here is how the conversation went.

Me: "Hey Gran, it's Sophie. I just wanted to let you know that I am getting married!"
Gran: "Congratulations baby girl! It's wonderful that little Molly's father is going to make an honest woman out of you."
Me: "No Gran, you're a little confused. Molly is adopted."
Gran: "Why did you put her up for adoption? It's not like you don't already have one child."
Me: "No Gran, I adopted Molly."
Gran: "So where did Molly come from?"
Me: "Remember Carol, that little Blond girl I used to babysit for? Molly is hers."
Gran: "Isn't she only 7?"
Me: "She's 17 Gran."
Gran: "So are you marrying Alice's father?"
Me: "No Gran, I don't see him."
Gran: "So who are you marrying?"
Me: "Eric. You met him, remember? He's Anna's daddy."
Gran: "Who's Anna? You're not pregnant again are you?"
Me: "No Gran. I'm not pregnant. Anna is 6."
Gran: "Is she the one that you gave up for adoption?"
Me: "No Gran, Anna is Eric's daughter, with his first wife."
Gran: "Oh...........Is she the one that adopted Molly?"
Me: *sigh* "I've got to go Gran. The baby is crying."
Gran: "Which baby? Anna?"
Me: "No, Gran. Molly."
Gran: "Is she the red head?"
Me: "Gran, that's Alice."
Gran: "Oh. Molly's the blond."
Me: "Yes Gran. Molly's blond."
Gran: "Ok. Go get the baby. I'll talk to you later. When is the wedding? Have you set a date yet?"
Me: "We're thinking about the beginning of the summer."
Gran: "Ok, as long as you have the wedding before the baby is born."
Me: *sigh* "Bye Gran."
Gran: "Bye Sophia."


I think she is loosing her marbles. What do you all think?

  • Maybe she was sneaking a nap and didn't want to tell on herself and was just confused? My mom has called me back before to ask what we were talking about because she wasn't all the way awake yet, lol. Finger's crossed for your Grandma.

  • Yes, I would definitely say she is over the edge. My husband had that with his grandmother and said it is the hardest thing to go through. Their bodies are in great shape but the mind is gone.

  • It can be hard. It does sound like she is slipping, and possibly has been for a while. Just have to keep talking to her and reminding her of thing. Good luck.
