I'm 37 years old. I think my brain is starting to set up like concrete.
Both of these things happened yesterday...
#1
I'm standing at the grocery store looking at meat, talking to my wife on the cell phone.
My wife says "What time is it, you have to pick up Sarah" (my daughter).
I start digging in my pockets to look at the time on my cell phone. I can't find it. I say to the wife "Goddam it, I lost my cell phone, I just had it two minutes ago". She says "You're talking to me on it".
#2
I go to pick up my daughter at the High School. I park beside the flag pole directly in front of the Gymnasium and call her. "Where ya at girl?" She says "I'm in front of the gym. I say "No you're not, are you at the other door?" She says, "No, I'm walking right toward you at the flag pole. Where the heck are you?" I say "I'm right by the flagpole."
She says, "Well I can't see you."
I say, "That's because I'm at the High School, I'll be over to get you in five minutes."
She says, "Wow."
I dropped her off at the Middle School right before I went shopping.
Is this what getting older is all about? A mind is a terrible thing.
Cliff notes:
1. I think my brain is checking out.
2. Everybody thinks it's cute except me.
3. ?
4. Profit!
