a writer's disclaimer..this is a fictional story, any resemblance to anyone place, person, activity, is coincedental..

Cara was dreading the transfer to her wheel chair, but company was coming. She had invited a cute young couple to lunch...had the feeling they were about to get engaged. She was excited . She was thinking about giving them her extra food processor.  The kids were late, as usual...but Cara put great care into getting things ready...and sat there waiting...and waiting... She enjoyed giving them cooking lessons...and listening to their big plans, but she did not understand why they made fun of her so much.  guess it as immaturity she figured...the girl...Wissy, often turned her back to Cara and made gagging faces to Parm,.. that Cara could clearly see in the reflection of her China Cabinet...and although they new she had a heart condition, ... maybe because of it,.. Parm was always doing  little things to upset her, and then he would watch her face for a reaction...Cara made a point of staying calm, and poker faced, and as time went on Parm's efforts became more extreme. It started out with simple things like sticking his hand into the food in the serving bowl, to remove the food...instead of getting mad, Cara  felt sorry for him,.at first she wondered if he was intellectually challenged but he could express himself well..then she thought her might be mentally challenged, or maybe had a traumatic brain injury... so Cara. handed a serving spoon to Parm and sweetly explained how to use it . Another time, Parm asked if he could get a cup of water, but insisted on doing it himself...Cara pulled the curtains open under the sink where there was a drain shelf neatly stacked with clean dishware. Parm was pretty tall and was holding the cup, while looking out the window. He started to sneeze..Instead of covering his mouth, or turning away, or sticking his face into his shirt.. Parm did a deep knee bend bent his head directly over all the clean dishes and gave several big wet sneezes all over them! Then he turned and watched my face...to see my reaction. Another time he was about to use scissors. ..and instead started twirling them on his finger way across the room by the table, and turned around to throw them at my bare feet..He threw them pretty hard because I was behind him and so far away that I was almost not in the room, and the scissors just barely missed my foot.
Yet another time, after I made another of my super meals that they loved, Parm started looking at his fly zip and saying he wanted me to meet Charley, He was trying to goof on me, trying to embarass me..I turned my back and started looking for something on a shelf, because he was getting reading to unzip his fly when .his fiance started yelling calling him a stupid idiot and he stopped.
Cara tried one last time to have a good visit, but Wissy was chewing Parm out for not treating her to an all expense paid shopping trip the past weekend, and he asked to use the bathroom,  and started pulling out the wall fixtures... Wissy rushed in to stop him ...and I stilled gave them lunch...during lunch Parm talked in great detail about how cool it was to torture animals,...I waited until lunch was done and sweetly said goodbye....

Cara was disapointed because she'd really hoped to become friends with them. They looked like such a cute young couple, and were very nice , even charming, at times....but she didn't want her house to get wrecked, so she explained that her health got worse and wasn't up for visiting.

There seemed to be a problem with Wissy, too,.. she was trying to cut off the top of a round loaf of bread to make a bread bowl for the spinach dip Cara taught her how to make, one week,.. and Wissy cut a shallow little hole the size of a soda bottle cap, about one inch wide..Cara's mom, who was there showed Wiss, how to make the hole 8 inches wider., like the photo they had... Wissy coudn't see the difference.
Even after they stopped visiting, Wissy kept posting upsetting pics on Cara's page, online, trying to push Cara to comment . Cara just clicked the ''I don't want to see this, setting'' and let it go.
...A month later, it got back to her that the cute couple was spreading lies about her...saying she was posting on her online page about them, and that she has yelled at them in fits of rag during their visits... Actually it had been the other way around.....but they looked so cute together, no one doubted them....
Cara just chalked it up to experience and was thankful her home had not been bashed up even worse...
It was too bad they had thought it so amusing to make fun of the old lady in the wheel chair, but she didn't matter , They didn't need her for anything, She didn't count. They would save their charm for people that were more important.
Wiis & Parm, were perfect for each other . Cara wished the young lovers a good future and hoped they might become more mature as life went on...
They were lovers because they loved themselves,
