The day’s joke is about Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder, or A.A.A.D.D.
This is the way it shows up:
I choose to give my automobile a wash. I see that there is mail on the hall table as I begin my journey to the garage. Before I wash the car, I choose to check the mail.
After placing my car keys on the table and placing the junk mail in the garbage can beneath it, I see that it is full.
Since I’ll be close to the mailbox when I take out the garbage anyhow, I figure I might as well pay the bills first. Nevertheless, I place the bills back on the table and start with the trash.
There is just one check remaining when I remove my checkbook from the table. I go to my desk in the study and discover the can of Coke I had been sipping. I also have my extra checks there. To avoid inadvertently toppling the Coke, I must first push it aside before I can search for my checks.
I decide to put the Coke in the refrigerator to keep it cool after seeing that it is growing warm.
I see a vase of flowers on the counter as I make my way to the kitchen with the Coke; they require watering.
After placing the glasses back on the counter and filling a pitcher with water, I look over and see the TV remote. It was left on the kitchen table by someone.
I decide to put the remote back in the den where it belongs after watering the flowers since I know that when we go to watch TV tonight, we will be searching for it and no one will remember that it is on the kitchen table.
The majority of the water that I splash on the flowers ends up on the floor.
I then place the remote control back on the table, get some towels, and clean up the mess.
After that, I go down the hall in an attempt to recall my original intention.
Ultimately, the car isn’t cleaned, the bills aren’t paid, a warm Coke can is on the counter, the flowers aren’t watered, and my checkbook still only has one check.
I can’t recall what I did with the car keys, I can’t find my glasses, and I can’t find the remote.
I’m then perplexed when I try to understand why I didn’t get anything done today because I know I was busy all day and I’m exhausted. I’ll attempt to obtain some aid for this since I know it’s a significant issue, but first I’ll check my email.
Will you do me a favor? I can’t recall who sent this message, but please forward it to any close friends you know.
If this isn’t you yet, don’t laugh; your day will come! Additionally, you now understand why you are receiving this twice if I have already sent it to you.
