Why not let them have fun?
I’ve never been a believer in the concept of ‘growing old gracefully’. In fact, the older I get, the less I give a crap, and I imagine that wil carry on well into old age. That’s also the case for this group of ladies from the UK, who aren’t going to let advancing years get in the way of having a raucous good time.
At their own request, the ladies of Milton Lodge retirement home Colchester, England, recently enjoyed a catered dinner straight out of the movie Magic Mike.
It all started with a wish. The home runs a program called “The Sparkle Initiative,” where staff raise money to fulfill the residents’ wishes. Usually, those wishes are pretty wholesome, like a day out at the promenade, or going to see a long-lost relative on the other side of the country. However, 89 year-old resident Joan Corp had other ideas altogether.
When staff asked 89-year-old resident Joan Corp what she wanted, her response was simple: “a man.”
At first, they thought Joan was just joking. But as time went on, the staff brought it up a few more times, and her answer was always the same. This is a woman who knows what she wants!
Joan officially requested that the Milton Lodge bring in a bunch of male exotic dancers, and the staff were left in a bit of a conundrum over what to do. I mean, it’s her wish and all, but is it appropriate for a nursing home?
