A funny.... AAADD

AAADD - Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder

This is how it manifests itself..... I decide to water my garden. As

turn on the hose in the driveway, I look over at my car and decide it

needs washing. As I start toward the garage, I notice mail on the

front Veranda table that I brought up from the letter box earlier,

just after the mailman had been.

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

keys on the table, put the junk mail in the garbage bin beside the

table, and notice that the bin 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 post box when I take out the garbage

anyway (and the mailman picks up the mail at noon) ...I may as well

pay the bills first. So, I take my check book off the table, and see

that there is only 1 check left. My spare check book is in my desk in

the

study, so I go inside the house to my desk where I find the can of

Coke

I'd been drinking earlier this morning.

I know I going to look for my check book, but first I need to push

the Coke can aside so that I don't accidentally knock it over. The

Coke is warm, so I decide to put it in the refrigerator to make it

cold again. As I head toward the kitchen with the Coke, a vase of

flowers on the dining room table catches my eye -- they need water.

I put the Coke on the dining room table and discover my reading

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

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

the flowers. I set the glasses back down on the table, go to the

kitchen sink to get a jug and fill it with water and suddenly spot

the TV remote on the window sill. Some-one left it there.

I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV, I'll be looking for

the remote, but I won't remember that it's on the window sill, so I

decide to put it back in the lounge room where it belongs, but first

I'll water the flowers. I pour some water in the jug, but spill some

on the floor. So, I set the remote back on the kitchen bench, 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 cheque's aren't written for the bills to be paid

- there is a warm can of Coke sitting on the dining room table

- the flowers don't have enough water,

- there is still only 1 cheque in my cheque book,

- I can't find the remote,

- I can't find my glasses,

- the garbage hasn't been taken out

- and I don't remember what 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, and I'm really tired now.

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. Forward this message to everyone you know, because I

don't remember who the hell I've sent it to.

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

Don't know about you guys but I can relate to this situation!!!!!!!

GROWING UP IS OPTIONAL.
