An 80 year old couple had problems remembering things, so they decided to go to their doctor to get checked out and make sure nothing was seriously wrong. When they arrived at the doctor's, they explained the problems they were having.
After checking the couple out, the doctor told them they were physically okay but might want to start writing things down and making notes to help them remember things.
The couple thanked the doctor and left. Later that night while watching TV, the old man gets 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 'cause 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, "I told you, you should have written it down. You forgot my toast!"
