I have mentioned before, that often I will think of something I need to do in another room – get there, and can’t remember why.

Well a very dear friend sent me an email this morning with a joke along those same lines. Thought I’d share it with you, since I’m sure that many of you have been through it before!

It’s called A.A.A.D.D. – Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder

Omigosh! I have this!!!! I knew something was wrong!

This is how it manifests:

I decided to water my garden.

As I turned on the hose in the driveway, I looked over at my car and 

decided my car needs washing.  As I started toward the garage, 

I noticed that there is mail on the porch table that I brought up 

from the mail box earlier.

I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car.

I lay my car keys down on the table, put the junk mail in the garbage 

can under the table, and notice that the can is full.

So I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out 

the garbage first.

But then I think, since I'm going to be near the mailbox when I take 

Out the garbage anyway. I may as well pay the bills first.

I take my check book off the table, and see that there is only 

1 check left. My extra checks are in my desk in the study, 

so I go inside the house to my desk where I find a can of coke 

that I had been drinking.

I'm going to look for my checks, but first I need to push the 

coke aside so that I don't accidentally knock it over. 

I see that the coke is getting warm, and I decide I should put it in 

the refrigerator to keep it cold.

As I head toward the kitchen with the coke, a vase of flowers 

on the counter catches my eye-- they need to be watered.

I set the coke down on the counter, and I discover my reading 

glasses that I've been searching for all morning. Then I decide 

I better put them back on my desk, but first I'm going to water 

the flowers.

I set the glasses back down on the counter, fill a container with 

water and suddenly I spot the TV remote. Someone left it on 

the kitchen table. I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV, 

I will be looking for the remote, but I won't remember that it's on 

the table, so I decided to put it back in the den where it belongs, 

but first I'll water the flowers.

I pour some water in the flowers, but quite a bit of it spilled on 

the floor. So, I set the remote back on the table, get some towels 

and wipe up the spill, then, I head down the hall trying to 

remember what I was planning to do.

At the end of the day:

----the car isn't washed,

----the bills aren't paid,

----There is a warm can of coke sitting on the counter, 

----the flowers don't have enough water,

----there is still only 1 check in my checkbook,

----I can't find the remote, 

----I can't find my glasses,

---and I don't remember what in the world I did with the car keys!

Then, when I try to figure out why nothing got done today, 

I'm really baffled, because I  know I was busy all day long, 

and I'm really tired.

I realize this is a serious problem, and I'll try to get some help for it,

but first I'll check my e-mail.

Do me a favor, will you? Forward this message to everyone you 

know, because I don't remember to whom it has been sent.

Don't laugh-- if this isn't you yet, your day is coming!!!

P.S. I just walked outside and 

SOMEONE LEFT THE WATER RUNNING IN THE

 DRIVEWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Feel free to share this – as I’m sure you know someone who could use a laugh.
