What it's like at 94

Conversation this afternoon with my mother, who turned 94 on Thursday:

Mum: "Your father was a very easy man to feed. He'd eat pretty much whatever you put in front of him."
Me: "Well that must have been nice, Mum. It sure makes things simpler."
Mum: "My husband now, he was a different matter."

I wonder if there's something I should have known about before now....  :-)
