His wife says,<br />“where you going?”. He says, I’m going to get something<br />to drink!” She says, “bring me some strawberry shortcake!”<br />He says “ok!” She says, “you better write it down or you’ll<br />forget it!” He says, “No I won’t, you said strawberry shortcake,<br />right?” She said, “yes and I want whipped cream on it!” He says<br />“Got it! Strawberry short cake with whipped cream!” She says<br />write it down, I know you, you’ll forget!” He says, “not a chance,<br />strawberry shortcake with whipped cream!” He goes off to the<br />kitchen and returns 15 to 20 minutes later and hands his wife<br />a fork, napkin and a plate of bacon and eggs. She looks up at<br />him and says ” I told you to write it down, I KNEW YOU’D<br />FORGET THE TOAST!”Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7304841.post-12756534778907693582017-07-27T19:39:14.968-05:002017-07-27T19:39:14.968-05:00Someday, I'm going to figure out whether infor...Someday, I'm going to figure out whether information and events don't "stick" the way they used to with me is due to old age or sensory overload.
