She sees him sitting at a table by himself, staring vacantly out of a window. She approaches him, hoping longingly that maybe this time he’ll remember her.
She sits down across from him and asks “How are you today?”
His face lights up and he says “Actually I’m feeling great! How are you?”
The woman, excited at his apparent lucidity, replies “Great, thanks! So do you remember who I am? Do you know my name?”
The old man, smile fading, replies “Hmmm... no... no sorry...”
The woman deflates, gets up and heads for the exit, when the old man stands up as she’s leaving and excitedly shouts “Wait!” The daughter turns around with fresh hope. “Yes?!” She asks.
The old man, with a grin from ear to ear, shouts “The staff can tell you who you are! They have a list of everyone’s names!”
