Now That I'm Getting Older, I Forget Things

[NJCher]

I was LOL at every paragraph; humor from The New Yorker. This is for all the absent-minded souls among us, as well as those with a bend for true crime.

Now that I’m getting older, I’ve noticed that I increasingly forget certain things.

For example, I’ll find myself standing in the driveway with no idea why I went outside. Of course, the moment I head back in, it hits me—and out I go! But no sooner am I out than, once again, I’m at a loss. I just sigh and shake my head as I rack my brains: Where the heck was I going? And why is there a note in my hand that says “Kill Marvin”?

Or I’ll find myself down in the basement. I’m not holding the laundry hamper, and there’s nothing in the machines—so why’d I come down here? And why is there a poster of Marvin on the wall with a red X on it?

I bet this one will sound familiar. You’re staring at your computer screen, and, for the life of you, you can’t imagine why you were Googling “chloroform.” You must have gone down quite the Internet rabbit-hole—but why?

2. This part:

Or how about when you’re in the shower, and you suddenly realize you can’t remember how long you’ve been in there! Sure, my fingers and toes are pretty wrinkly, but then again my hair is still matted with quite a bit of blood.
