Absent-minded wife complains about forgetful husband
An elderly couple had memory problems, so they decided to write everything down so they could remember things.
In the evening, the two were watching TV, the old man stood up and went to the kitchen. The wife asked:
- Can you get me a bowl of ice cream?
- Of course!
- Maybe you should write it down so you don't forget?
- No need.
- By the way, I would like some strawberries too. You'd better write them down because I know you'll forget them soon.
- I remember.
The old man went resolutely into the kitchen. A few minutes later, when he returned from the kitchen, he brought his wife a plate of bacon and some eggs. The old woman glanced at the plate and shook her head:
- I knew you would forget to bring me bread!
