Write It Down!

An 80 year old couple were 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 tells 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 asks,
"Where are you going?"


He replies, "To the kitchen." She asks, "Will you get me a bowl
of ice cream?"


He replies, "Sure." She then asks him, "Don't you think you
should write it down so you can remember it?"


He says, "No, I can remember that."


She then says, "Well I also would like some strawberries on top.
You had better write that down because 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 in his voice, he says, "I don't need to write
that down! I can remember that." 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 angrily: "I TOLD
you to write it down! You forgot my toast!"
