My Mother used to dress us up, boys w bow ties, girls in skirts and fancy shoes (Our Church Attire)and take us to old folks homes, once we got there we would sing and harmonize old songs from my mothers youth and then they just just turn us loose and the residents and staff just let us happen.
I was the oldest of 6 kids so I was probably 9 or 10 and I was big into Roy Rogers, Daniel Boone, Davy Crockett etc ... and them old guys would tell long stories about everything from Jesse James to Billy the Kid (just making everything up, but I didn’t know any better) my younger siblings weren’t into the stories etc, but they got lots of hugs and kisses.
Mom died more than 30 years ago and I am now considered a Senior Citizen... My kids long grown up and gone and I never took them to an old folks home.
That is on me.

My mom did a variation on that - taking us to see the elderly. But none of us could sing, so that was out.
