I received the following from one of my fellow Rotarians:
A.A.A.D.D. is Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder.
This is how it manifests:
I decided to wash my car. As I start toward the gagage, I notice som mail on the all 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 tabel, and notice that the can is full.
So, I decide to put the biss 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 fine 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 notice the Coke is getting warm, and 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 have 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 lift it on the kitchen table. I realize that tonight when we want to watch TV, we will be looking for the remote, but nobody will 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 flowere, 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 paik, the trash hasn't been taken out, there is a warm can of Coke sitting on thecounter, the flowers aren't watered, there is still only one check in my checkbook, I can't fint 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 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 favor, will you? Forward message to everyone you know, because I don't remember to whom it has been sent. Don't laugh too loudly - if this isn't you yet, your day is coming!
