Forgetful

I am sure people often suffer from loss of memory.  I have temporary lapses of memory when I am telling a story or searching for the right word and that does not worry me.  However, yesterday I was talking to the child of my loins and said, "You know................................................."  She waited politely for me to finish my sentence but I could not.  Between the 'you know' and the rest of my planned sentence I completely forgot what I was going to say.  Now that is a definite worry.  How is it possible to forget something only two words in to the sentence?  Eventually everyone is going to notice and I will find myself shipped off to The Home Where No-one Can Finish Their Sentences.

The Home Where No-one Can Finish Their Sentences will have another annexe for people "Who Cannot Even Say A Sentence.  This is a peaceful annexe as the only people that speak are the nurses.  They will just talk amongst themselves because it is useless to talk to the patients as they cannot answer.  The next annexe is for people Who Cannot Even Say a Sentence but are also incontinent.  I could go on but I am getting really depressed about the whole thing.  I think that there is probably a prequel to The Home Where No-one Can Finish Their Sentences, it is called The Family is Hiding the Embarrassing Old Person Away Nursing Home.

My answer to the problem is to practice my sentences after writing them down.  Once they are written down I can read them out and no-one will have the slightest clue about my lapses of thought.  It will be a self written script and will certainly suffice to keep me out of The Family is Hiding the Embarrassing Person Away Nursing Home.

I have been sitting here with my hands on the keyboard trying to write an excellent final paragraph but as I cannot marshal my thoughts I will finish like this......................................................................!
