An 80-year-old-couple are having problems remembering things, so they decide to see their doctor to find out if anything is wrong with them. Â*
They see the doctor and tell him about the memory problems they've been having.
After a check-up, the doctor tells them that they are physically fine but might want to start writing things down to help them remember things.
They thank the Â*doctor and leave. Â*
Later that night while watching TV, the old man gets up from his chair.
"Where are you going?" asks his wife. Â*
"To the kitchen," he replies. Â*
"Will you get me a bowl of ice cream?" she asks. Â*
"Sure," he says. Â*
She says, "Maybe you should write it down so you’ll remember." Â*
"I’ll remember," he says. Â*
"Well, I would also like some strawberries on top," she says. "You had better write that down cause I know you'll forget." Â*
"I can remember that," he says, as he begins to lose his Â*
patience. "You want a bowl of ice cream with strawberries." Â*
"I would also like whip cream on top," she adds, "I know you Â*will forget that so you better write it down." Â*
Hopping mad he says, "I don't need to write that down! I will Â* remember just fine."
He fumes into the kitchen to get the food. Â*
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 Â*moment and says, "Hey, you forgot my toast!" Â*
