Friday Funny


I wanted to leave you all with a smile on your face and some laughs in your heart for the weekend.


AAADD


KNOW THE SYMPTOMS.


PLEASE READ!


Thank goodness there's a name for this disorder.


Somehow I feel better even though I have it!!


Recently, I was diagnosed with "Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder" or A.A.A.D.D.

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 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.


I lay my car keys 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 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 Dr. Pepper I'd been drinking.


I'm going to look for my checks, but first I need to push the Dr. Pepper aside so that I don't accidentally knock it over.


The Dr. Pepper is getting warm, and I decide to put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold.


As I head toward the kitchen with the Dr. Pepper, a vase of flowers on the counter catches my eye--they need water.


I put the Dr. Pepper on the counter 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 water the flowers.


I set the glasses back down on the counter, fill a container with water and suddenly spot the TV remote.


Someone left it on the kitchen table.


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 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 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 Dr. Pepper sitting on the counter;

the flowers don't have enough water;

there is still only one check in my check book;

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, 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 blog.


Do me a favor.


Forward this message to everyone you know, because I don't remember who I've sent it to.
Don't laugh -- if this isn't you yet, your day is coming!!

Ha... hmmmm.... I laughed but it isn't because it isn't me - it's because it hits too close to home.

Thanks for sharing! : )

I was going to say something smart like, "So THIS is what's wrong with my wife!"

But then I realized that you had just described my day today.

That was so funny!

This sounds a lot like "If you give a mouse a cookie, then he'll...". I'm a preschool teacher and am all too familiar with that book series.

I always have to go back to the room I started out in to remember what I was searching for or was going to do in the first place!
