An 80-year-old couple was worried because they kept forgetting things all the time. The doctor assured them there was nothing seriously wrong except old age, and suggested they carry a notebook and write things down so they wouldn’t forget.
Several days later the old man got up to go to the kitchen. His wife said, “Dear, get me a bowl of ice cream while you’re up.”
“Okay.” he said.
“…and put some chocolate syrup on it and a few cherries on it, too.” She added. “You’d better write all this down.”
“I won’t forget.” He said. Twenty minutes later he came back into the room and handed her a plate of scrambled eggs and bacon.
She glared at him. “Now, I told you to write it down! I knew you’d forget.”

She replied, “My toast!”

The problem with writing stuff down, is remembering where you wrote it.

Rmom That is exactly my problem with it, also whenever I put something somewhere I am sure to find again, I never do.
Try writing on yourself with washable markers. (People do look at you strangely though.)
