My mother, God bless you Mom, is known by all who know her as rather “long-winded.” The expression, “She loves to talk” is putting it very mildly to say the least. My Dad, a few years back, became “stone deaf,” and had a chip implanted below the skin on one side of his head that allows him to hear once more. Technology today is absolutely amazing, but the point being not so much that, but in reality now, all he has to do is turn his hearing aid off, profess to Mom his batteries are dead, “voila,” total uninterrupted silence!
