An 80 year old couple was having problems remembering things so they
decided to go to their doctor to get checked out to make sure nothing
was wrong with them. When they arrived at the doctor's office they
explained to the doctor about the problems they were having with their
memory.
After checking the couple out the doctor told them that they were
physically okay but that they might want to start writing things down
and make notes to help them remember things. The couple thanked the
doctor and left. That evening while they were watching TV he gets up
and she asks him where he is going He replies, " To the kitchen." She
asks, "Will you get me a bowl of ice cream?"
He replies "Sure." She asks him, "Don't you think you should write it
down so you can remember it?" He says, "No, I can remember that She
says, "Well I also would like some strawberries on top. You had better
write that down 'cause I know you'll forget that." He says, "I can
remember that you want a bowl of ice cream with strawberries."
She
replies, "Well, I also would like whipped cream on top. I know you
will forget that so you better write it down." With irritation, he
says, "I don't need to write it down, I can remember it.'
He then fumes into the kitchen. After about 20 minutes he returns from
the kitchen and hands her a plate of bacon and eggs. She stares at the
plate for a moment and says, "You forgot my toast."
