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. ​

I 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 flowers,
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​

I HAVE to send this to my father.
