who plays bingo?

we do.


Here is a picture I'm putting in my Sterling Scholar Portfolio.

Carl is the one on the left. What I love about Carl:

-He is so funny!! He hardly makes sense, but I get some great laughs. Examples:
"Don't cry about it David. We don't want to give you a baby bottle or change your diaper."
"You can't win if you can't dance."
"Shutup grandma." (says this when he hasn't won Bingo yet and a lady does)
"Be quiet, be quiet. It's my turn. It's my turn now." (whenever he hasn't won yet)
"Be quiet, shorty." (said sometimes, in regards to David)
"Lookee here, sweetie. That's my parents. My dad died in a nursin' home and my mom, she died in a chair." (He has told me this on each visit to his room, while showing me his pictures)
"I got myself a new wallet." (he ALWAYS says this)
"Yep, I gotta go to work tomorrow, but then I'm off." (obviously doesn't have a job)

On the other side is David. They are actually roommates. David is so short! But, he knows how to play Bingo quite well. And he always encourages everyone. My favorite "David" sayings?
"Ooh, one more there! Only one more." (he will start saying this when he has three or four on a game of Blackout)
"Bingo Ray!" (he always calls the announcer Ray, even though his name isn't Ray)

I normally help Carl, so I remember a lot of what he says. Anyway, I'm so grateful that I have been able to volunteer here this year. Every time I go, my day is always changed for the better.
