Oooooh Lola

Quick study break with a little light humor.

Lola has been spending all week with her cousin and her family since I'm pretty tied up with all of this crazy studying. On Monday, when I was getting her ready to go out the door and onto her cousin's house, I grabbed her hat and gloves off the chair to put on. When I picked up her gloves, I felt something hard hidden inside. I looked at Lola and asked what was there. She grabbed the gloves out of my hand and angrily said, "Give me those!" I chuckled, apologized, and asked again if she could put on her gloves since it was cold outside. While I was trying to explain to her how cold it was outside, Lola stormed off as fast as she could with her walker towards the front door. Her response to my request was, "Go back to studying! Leave me alone. I'm leaving for a week so that you can study. Mind your own business and go back to studying." Another interesting fact about Lola is that she never likes to be put on the spot and gets frustrated when she doesn't know something or when you try to call her out on something.

Welp, it turns out that she was hoarding a knife in her gloves! She took the knife from the dining room table and was going to bring the knife with her "just in case." Also to "protect herself from evil." Interesting. Oh Lola...

UPDATE 031209 at 8:39 p.m.: Went to dinner with my mom tonight who revealed that Lola DID NOT hide a knife in her gloves. My mom spoke to Lola's cousin about whether or not she found the knife, but it turns out the hard object ended up being a plastic spatula so that she could scratch her back! Lola decided to "lie for her life" and agreed that she took a knife so that she would not get in trouble for scratching her back and leaving scratch marks. What gets me is the elaborate excuse she gave my mom about protecting herself and not wanting to see the demons late at night. Stop while you're ahead, Lola.
