Ma's JOKE OF THE DAY!

Ma's JOKE OF THE DAY!

Recently, I was diagnosed with A. A. A. D. D. - Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder. <br><br>This is how it manifests: <br><br>I decide to water my garden. As I turn on the hose in the driveway, I look over at my car and decide my car needs washing. As I start toward the garage, I notice 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. <br><br>I lay my car keys down on the table, put the junk mail in the trash 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 trash first. <br><br>But then I think, since I'm going to be near the mailbox when I take out the trash anyway, I may as well pay the bills first. I take my check book off the table, and see that there is only one check left. My extra checks are in my desk in the study, so I go inside the house to my desk where I find the can of Coke that I had been drinking. <br><br>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. <br><br>I set the Coke down on the counter, and I 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 water the flowers. <br><br>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 kitchen table, so I decide to put it back in the den where it belongs, but first I'll water the flowers... <br><br>Now I pour some water in the flowers, but quite a bit of it spills on the floor. So, I set the remote back down on the table, get some towels and wipe up the spill. <br><br>Then I head down the hall trying to remember <br><br>what I was planning to do. <br><br>At the end of the day: <br><br>-the car isn't washed, <br><br>-the bills aren't paid, <br><br>-there is a warm can of Coke sitting on the counter, <br><br>-the flowers don't have enough water, <br><br>-there is still only one check in my check book, <br><br>-I can't find the remote, <br><br>-I can't find my glasses, and I don't remember what I did with the car keys. <br><br>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. <br><br>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. <br><br>Don't laugh -- if this isn't you yet, --your day is coming! <br><br>GROWING OLDER IS MANDATORY. GROWING UP IS OPTIONAL. <br><br>LAUGHING AT YOURSELF IS THERAPEUTIC
