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.

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 flow ers,
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 favor.
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
