There once was an elderly couple who, as they grew older, noticed they were becoming increasingly forgetful. Concerned, they decided to visit their doctor. The doctor advised them to start writing things down to help them remember.
Upon returning home, the wife asked her husband to get her a bowl of ice cream. “You might want to write that down,” she suggested. The husband confidently replied, “No, I can remember a simple bowl of ice cream.”
She then added, “I would like a bowl of ice cream with whipped cream.” “Write it down,” she told him. Again, he stated, “No, no, I can remember: ice cream with whipped cream.”
Finally, the old lady specified, “I want a bowl of ice cream with whipped cream and a cherry on top.” “Please, write it down,” she urged. He responded firmly, “I’ve got it. Ice cream, whipped cream, and a cherry on top.”
The husband then went to the kitchen. An unusually long time passed, over thirty minutes. Eventually, he returned to his wife, presenting her with a plate of eggs and bacon. The old wife stared at the plate for a moment, then looked at her husband and asked, “Where’s the toast?”
