I love my dad. He's the best man I know! That said...he's also annoyingly forgetful. His mental efficiency is waning. Perhaps it's just his age, or perhaps it's the cocktail of medication he takes to keep his heart running that's done his brain in. Either way, the comedy (or horror depending on how you look at it) he creates every day, I believe, should be shared...and relentlessly mocked. Cheers!

#4

This really doesn't fall under the category of things my Dad forgets, but it's still too funny not to post.

I was watching the CWS the other night in the living room and Dad had come in to sit next to me to watch A&M try to win over SC. --Didn't happen--

During the commercial break he went back into the kitchen to get his toast that had popped up done. Still no action in the game.

After a minute I hear,
"Dammit!!!"

I flinched and my attention shifted toward the kitchen.

I waited to hear if more drama was to ensue. None.

After another minute he emerged from the kitchen looking all annoyed.

I stared at him the entire time on his journey from the kitchen to the sofa.

He sat down next to me and I waited for an explanation.

D: "This plate is slippery!!!"

(to illustrate, he moves the plate back and forth and the two pieces of toast with strawberry jam slippery slide around the plate)

Me: "Uh-huh." (keep going)

D: "I picked up the plate to walk away and the toast fell right to the ground! Right to the ground! Face down, too! Jam stuck to the floor and everything!"

Me: "Bwahhhhahhahahahha!!!"

D: "I'm still eating it, though. Germs and everything."
