  • A.A.A.D.D. – Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder

    I decide to wash my car. As I start toward to the garage, I notice
    that there is mail on the hall table. 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 trash
    can under the table, and notice that the trash can is full.

    So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the
    trash first, but then I think that 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 checkbook off the table and see that there is only one check
    left. My extra checks are in my desk in the study, o I go to my
    desk where I find the can of Coke that I had been drinking. 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.

    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’d 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, we will be looking for
    the remote, but nobody will 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.

    I splash some water on the flowers, but most of it spills on the floor.
    So, I set the remote back down on the table, 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 bills aren’t paid,
    there is a warm can of Coke sitting on the counter, the flowers aren’t
    watered, there is still only one check 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 favor, will you? Forward this message to close friends 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! And if I have
    sent this to you before….well, now you know why you’re getting it again.
