Due to G's heel sores, Anna has generously made arrangements to go into work late and come home at lunch so she can help dress the wounds on G's feet. Here is how her first morning went:
Anna helps G take a shower and gets her all dried off and clad in undergarments. G lays on the bed while Anna wraps up her feet in bandages. Anna puts the complicated boots on and then realizes she forgot to put pants on Grandma.
"Grandma, what do you think about wearing a skirt today?"
"Oh no, I can't wear a skirt. I need pants."
Anna takes off the boots, puts on G's pants and re-fastens the boots.
"Ok, Grandma, what shirt do you want to wear today?"
"I need to wear a shirt."
"Yes, what shirt do you want to wear?"
"I don't know. I need to wear a shirt."
"How about the gray one?"
"No..."
"How about the blue one?"
"No..."
"Which one do you want to wear?"
"I don't know. I need to wear a shirt."
By this time Anna is out of patience and is cussing at Grandma, but Grandma keeps stalling because she knows it's the end of the routine and Anna has to go soon and she still wants Anna around, even if she is pissed.
"Ok, Grandma, you will wear this red shirt and you will like it."
Just like the mother of a toddler, she thrusts the shirt over G's head and pulls her arms into the sleeves.
I can imagine this is what the scene looked like.
