An elderly couple was watching TV. The husband got up and said to his wife, “I’m going to get some ice cream. Would you like some?”

“Yes, but I’ll get up and fix it myself,” she said. “You never remember how I like it. Your memory’s failing.”

“I can fix it,” he said. “Just tell me how you want it.”

She said, “Okay, I want vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce and a cherry on top. Don’t forget the cherry! You always forget the cherry.”

A few minutes later, the husband came back in the room with a sandwich and handed it to her. She looked down at the sandwich, then looked up at her husband, and said, “Where’s the pickle? You always forget the pickle.”

Do you ever just forget? I guess we all just forget sometimes, don’t we?
