Sisters Growing Old

Once upon a time, there were three sisters, ages 92, 94 and 96, and they all lived together. One night the 96-year-old ran a bath. She put one foot in and paused. “Was I getting in the tub or out?” she yelled. The 94-year-old hollered back, “I don’t know. I’ll come and see.” She started up the stairs and stopped. She shouted, “Was I going up or coming down?” The 92 year- old sitting at the kitchen table having tea, listening to her sisters, she shook her head and said, “I sure hope I never get that forgetful,” and knocked on wood for good measure. Then she yelled, “I’ll come up and help both of you as soon as I see who’s at the door.”
