A very harsh reality check...
I frequently volunteer at a local nursing home. I'm currently working on pictures for a new brochure. After I finished pictures, one of the sweet ladies stopped me, with a beautiful little smile and her weathered little hand on my arm, and said "Are you a resident here, too?"
whimper...whine....

A friend is not who knows you the longest, but the one who came and never left your side.
Don't look back, we ain't goin' that way.
I hope you slugged her!
AAAAARRRRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Speaking as someone who just got her first invitation to join AARP, OUCH!

Hey Betty, next time you go there, wrap up some Exlax in some decorative foil, and tell the old gal it's special chocolates "just for her." That oughta fix her!*G*
whack her with the butt of your 9 wt. That will teach her to mess with a Babe.
She probably went running back to her friend going, "I got one, I got one, you should have seen the look on her face"! Just plain mean. It's a game they play.
Could be worse... your answer could have been yes.

The last time I visited a nursing home they tried to keep me.

Betty, I'll loan you my beanie hat with the visor and propeller. That will let them know you haven't grown up and don't intend to!
