A.A.D.D.

A.A.D.D.

 

(One of my Smile Jokes Member sent me this)

 

Recently, I was diagnosed with A.A.A.D.D. - Age Activated Attention Deficit

Disorder

 

This is how it manifests:

 

I decide to water my garden.

 

As I 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 that there is mail on the porch table

that I brought up from the mailbox 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 cheque book off the table, and see that there is only one cheque

left.

 

My extra cheques 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.

 

I'm going to look for my cheques, but first I need to move the Coke so that

I don't accidentally knock it over. I see that the Coke is getting warm and

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..

 

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 won't remember 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.

 

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 mop to 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 cheque in my checkbook,

 

* I can't find the remote,

 

* I can't find my glasses,

 

* 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 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 favour, 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!!
