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, 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 might want to start writing things down and make notes to help them remember
things. The couple thanked the doctor and left.
Later that night, while watching TV, the
man got up from his chair and his wife asked, “Where are you going?”
He replied, “To the kitchen.”
She asked, “Will you get me a cup of ice
cream?”
He replied, “Sure.”
She then asked him, “Don’t you think you
should write it down so you can remember it?”
He said, “No, I can remember that.”
She then said, “Well, I would also like
some strawberries on top. You had better write that down because I know you’ll
forget that.”
He said, “I can remember that. You want a
cup of ice cream with strawberries.”
She replied, “Well, I also would like some
whipped cream on top. I know you will forget that so you’d better write it
down.”
With anger in his voice, he said, “I don’t
need to write that down! I can remember that.” He then went into the kitchen.
After about 20 minutes he returned from the
kitchen and handed her a plate of bacon and eggs. She stared at the plate for a
moment and said angrily, “I told you to write it down! You forgot my bread!”
