I used to believe that all old people eventually become demented when they get old enough. This was before people had identified Alzheimer's disease, so people couldn't easily explain why some old people became more and more incapacitated mentally. Anyway, I ued to wonder when my grandparents would start becoming forgetful and losing their minds...
