An 80+ year old couple were having problems remembering things so they decided to see their doctor to find out if anything was wrong with them.
They see the doctor and tell him about the memory problems they've been having. After a checkup, the doctor tells them that they are physically fine but might want to start writing things down to help them remember things.
Later that night while watching TV, the man gets up from his chair.
His wife asks, "Where are you going?"
"To the kitchen", he replies.
"Will you get me a bowl of ice cream?" she asks.
"Sure", he says.
She says "Maybe you should write it down so you'll remember."
"I'll remember that", he replies.
"Well, put some strawberries on top, too" she adds. "You'd better write that down 'cause I know you'll forget !"
"I can remember that", he says, as he begins to lose patience, "You want a bowl of ice cream with strawberries..."
"I'd also like some whipped cream on the top of it" she says, "I just know you'll forget that so you'd better write it down !"
Pretty irritated now, he says "I don't need to write that down ! I'll remember just fine !" and fuming, he walks into the kitchen.
After about 20 minutes, he comes back from the kitchen and hands her a plate of bacon and eggs..........
She stares at the plate for a moment and says......
"You forot my toast."
