— Mom, did you forget to take your medicine again? The doctor warned: skip a dose, and you’ll start rambling. Shall I bring you some water to calm down? Today is the wedding! I am your daughter-in-law, and this is your son. Did you forget me?

Then I addressed the guests:

— Excuse me, my mother-in-law is seriously ill, and sometimes she doesn’t understand what she’s saying. Holy Father, let’s continue; her words mean nothing. She is confused.

— But I’m not ill! — protested my mother-in-law.

— Yes, yes, you are perfectly healthy, you just forgot your medicine a little. Now it’s over, and I will give it to you, — I replied gently.
