Quote from Dorothy in Clinton Avenue Memoirs
Dorothy: It's Ma. She's becoming more forgetful. And she denies it and she gets mad. Rose: How bad is it? Dorothy: Bad. It's not just a matter of small things anymore. I can't believe she forgot this dinner. I mean, every year since my father died, I've been taking her out to dinner on her wedding anniversary, because she's lonely. Blanche: Maybe you'd better talk to her doctor about this. Dorothy: You're right, Blanche. I guess I've just been hoping that things would improve by themselves. You know, I never thought Ma would lose her memory. Of course, I never thought Alan Alda would get on my nerves.
