What this social work grad student has heard so far ...
{please remember I'm interning in a counseling unit with the elderly ....}
"My! You're an *attractive* woman!" {right. to me.}
"When did that painting show up??" {between residents}
"It's always been there. You can't even remember that? Good night!"
"No, no. I don't want to visit with you today." {right. to me, again.}
"Can I go out on a limb here?" {between someone who is not me and client}
"Sure. Who's got the saw?"
