An elderly couple had started getting very forgetful in their old age.
One day, after the husband accidentally put the TV remote in the freezer and the wife spent twenty minutes looking for her glasses while they were sitting on her head, they finally decided it was time to see a doctor.
The doctor smiled kindly and said:
“At your age, memory slips are normal. Just start writing things down.”
That evening, while relaxing on the couch, the wife said:
“Sweetheart, could you bring me a bowl of vanilla ice cream?”
The husband stood up confidently.
“Of course.”
She raised an eyebrow.
“You should probably write it down.”
He puffed out his chest.
“Nonsense. I can remember ice cream.”
She added:
“And put whipped cream on top.”
He waved his hand dramatically.
“I’ve got it — ice cream with whipped cream.”
Then she grinned mischievously.
“And a cherry on top too.”
The old man laughed.
“Woman, please. I’m not senile yet! Ice cream, whipped cream, cherry. Easy.”
Off he marched into the kitchen.
Ten minutes passed.
Then twenty.
Then thirty-five minutes.
The wife could hear pots banging, drawers slamming, and at one point what sounded suspiciously like the smoke alarm.
Finally, after nearly an hour, the husband returned looking exhausted… proudly carrying a giant plate of bacon and eggs.
The wife stared at the plate in complete silence.
She slowly looked up at him, disappointed.
Then she sighed:
“You forgot the ketchup.”😂🤣
