My wife and I saw a doctor to help us with memory issues. He suggested we write things down to help our recall.
That evening, while in bed, my wife asks me for a dish of vanilla ice cream. She suggests I practice by writing it down. “No way! I can’t forget that” was my reply. As I left the bedroom, she asked for whipped cream also. I said ok and she again asked me to write it down. My reply was the same. I reached the kitchen and I heard her ask for a cherry on top. Again she asked me to write it down, but I told her “I got it, vanilla ice cream, whipped cream and a cherry on top.”
Ten minutes later I returned with a plate of bacon and eggs. She replied, “I told you, you should have written it down. You forgot my toast.”
