Funny story re. flash cards:
When Dad had his stroke, he lost the ability to speak; along with some mental capacity (cognitive ability ?) He started sessions with a Therapist, who one day was using flash cards. She'd hold up a card, & he was supposed to tell her what was pictured on the card. At one point, she held up a picture of a car
Dad: 57
Therapist: No, try again
Dad, impatiently: 57
Therapist, after checking to make sure of the picture: No, Mr. Whiteside, it's a car
Dad: It's a '57 Chevrolet, dammit!
He was right; the car had been made before the Therapist was even born.
