A.A.A.D.D.- KNOW THE SYMPTOMS!

    A.A.A.D.D.- KNOW THE SYMPTOMS!

    Thank goodness there's a name for this disorder.

    Age-Activated Attention Deficit Disorder.

    This is how it manifests:

    I decide to water my garden. As I turn on the hose in the driveway, I look over at my car and  decide it needs washing.

    As I start toward the garage, I notice mail on the porch table that I brought up from the mail box earlier.

    I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car.

    I lay my car keys on the table, Put the junk mail in the garbage can under the table, And notice that the can is full.

    So, I decide to put the bills back On the table and take out the garbage first...

    But then I think, Since I'm going to be near the mailbox When I take out the garbage anyway, I may as well pay the bills first.

    I take my check book off the table, And see that there is only one check left.

    My extra checks are in my desk in the study, So I go inside the house to my desk where I find the can of Pepsi I'd been drinking.

    I'm going to look for my checks, But first I need to push the Pepsi aside So that I don't accidentally knock it over.

    The Pepsi is getting warm, And I decide to put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold.

    As I head toward the kitchen with the Pepsi, A vase of flowers on the counter Catches my eye--they need water.


    I put the Pepsi on the counter and Discover my reading glasses that I've been searching for all morning. I decide I better put them back on my desk,

    But first I'm going to water the flowers.

    I set the glasses back down on the counter , Fill a container with water and suddenly spot the TV remote. Someone left it on the kitchen table.

    I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV, I'll be looking for the remote,

    But I won't remember that it's on the kitchen table, So I decide to put it back in the den where it belongs, But first I'll water the flowers.

    I pour some water in the flowers, But quite a bit of it spills on the floor.

    So, I set the remote back on the table, Get some towels and wipe up the spill.

    Then, I head down the hall trying to Remember what I was planning to do.

    At the end of the day: The car isn't washed, The bills aren't paid, There is a warm can of Pepsi sitting on the counter, The flowers don't have enough water, There is still only 1 check in my check book, I can't find the remote, I can't find my glasses, And I don't remember what I did with the car keys.

    Then, when I try to figure out why nothing got done today, I'm really baffled because I know I was busy all day, And I'm really tired.

    I realize this is a serious problem, And I'll try to get some help for it, but first I'll check my e-mail....

    Do me a favour. Forward this message to everyone you know,

    Because I don't remember who I've sent it to.

    Don't laugh -- if this isn't you yet, your day is coming!

    P.S. I don't remember who sent it to me, so if it was you, I'm sorry

Excellent, I recognise that in some people I know, I don't think I'm like it, but I can't remember if I am or not
