A.A.A.D.D?

Hi,

Hope this finds you in

good health, the following was sent to me by a friend of mine in the USA...........now

I'm not saying I have this .....but I'm definitely close

Do You

Have A.A.A.D.D. ?

Recently, I was

diagnosed with A. A. A. D. D. - Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder.

This is how it

manifests:

I decide to wash my car.

… As I start

toward the garage, I notice that there is mail on the hall table.

… I decide to go

through the mail before I wash the car.

… I lay my car

keys down on the table, put the junk mail in the trash can under the table,

and notice that the trash can is full.

… So, I decide to

put the bills back on the table and take out the trash first.

… But then I think,

since I'm going to be near the mailbox when I take out the trash anyway, I

may as well pay the bills first.

… I take my

checkbook 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 to my desk where I find the can of Coke

that I had been drinking.

… I'm going to

look for my checks, but first I need to push the Coke aside so that I don't

accidentally knock it over. I see that the Coke is getting warm, and I decide

I should put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold.

… As I head toward

the kitchen with the coke a vase of flowers on the counter catches my

eye--they need to be watered.

… I set the Coke

down on the counter, and I 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 I

spot the TV remote.

… Someone left it

on the kitchen table.

… I realize that

tonight when we go to watch TV, I will 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 splash some

water on the flowers, but most of it spills on the floor.

… So, I set the

remote back down 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

Coke sitting on the counter, the flowers aren't watered, there is still only

one check in my checkbook, 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 long, 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,

will you? Forward this message to everyone you know, because I don't remember

to whom it has been sent.

… Don't laugh --

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