Embarrassed By Dementia ?

Some people are embarrassed to take their 'confused' people into the public to eat. Last week I took mother to a 'real' restaurant instead of fast food. She, of course, said she had been there many times (why does she say this about everything?) I made sure to find a fruit drink and a fish entree and order it for her before the waitress had a chance to badger her for a response. Unfortunately, the drink came in a glass taller than her-she couldnt even reach the straw! Also, there were chunks of fruit in it that clogged the straw- what a PIA. Anyways, I had her dig out the ice onto a plate and she proceeded to use her fork and dig out the fruit- LOL!
I am not embarrassed by her.
If she forgets how to use a fork, we'll get chicken tenders.
