An 80-year-old couple were having problems remembering things, so they decided to see their family doctor to make sure nothing was wrong with them. When they arrived at the doctor’s, they explained to him that they were having problems with their memory. The doctor told them they were physically fit but they should start writing things down and making notes to help them remember things. The couple thanked the doctor and left.
Later that night while watching TV, the old man got up from his chair. His wife asked him, “Where are you going?” He replied, “To the kitchen.” She asked him, “Will you bring me a bowl of ice cream?” He replied, “Sure.” Then she asked him, “Don’t you think you should write it down?” He said, “No, I can remember that.” Then the woman said, “Well, I would also like some strawberries on top. You had better write that down because I know you’ll forget it.”
With irritation in his voice the old man said, “I don’t need to write that down. I can remember that you want a bowl of ice cream with strawberries on top.” He went into the kitchen angrily . After about 20 minutes he returned and handed her a plate of bacon and eggs. She stared at the plate for a moment and said, “I told you to write it down. You forgot my toast.”
