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







I was just diagnosed with A. A. A. D. D. -- Age Activated Attention
Deficit Disorder. This is how it manifests itself: ;


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

As I started toward the garage, I noticed that there is mail on the
porch table that I brought up from the mail box earlier. &nbs p;

I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car.
& nbsp;
I lay my car keys down 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 garb age anyway, I may as well pay the bills first.

I take my check book off the table, and see that there is only 1 check
left. My extra checks are in my desk in the study, so I go inside the
house to my desk where I find a can of Coke that I had been drinking.
&nb sp;
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. & nbsp;

As I head toward the kitchen with the Coke, a vase of flowers on the
counter catches my eye--they need to be watered.
&nb sp;
I set the Coke down on the counter, and I discover my reading glasses
that I've been searching for all morning. Then 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 table, so I decide to put
it back in the den where it belongs, but first I'll water the flowers.
&nb sp;
I pour some water in the flowers, but quite a bit of it spilled 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 Coke sitting on the counter,
----the flowers don't have enough water,
----there is still only 1 check in my checkbook,
----I can't find the remote, & nbsp;
----I can't find my glasses,
----and I don't remember what in the world I did with the car keys!
&nb sp;
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. &nbs p;

Do me a favor, 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!!!
&nb sp;
Growing older is mandatory.
Growing up is optional.
Laughing at yourself is therapeutic.

PS - I just walked outside and SOMEONE LEFT THE WATER RUNNING IN THE
DRIVEWAY!
