Geriatric

I now admit that I have lost it completely.  I went in to the chemist to fill a prescription and while the lady was filling out the ticket I asked for geriatric tablets.  Naturally she was quite happy to give me those tablets because a person who asks for geriatric when they mean generic should have as many of the geriatric tablets as they need.  The next thing she should have done was to call the little men in the white jackets to come and take me away.  Luckily  I can put on quite a turn of speed when I need to so I left the shop before I could be detained.

I wonder how many pre-senile things I have to do before I am classed as actually senile.  I have already put my the driver's licence in the ATM, tried to pay for the same thing twice, asked the girls in the Donut King for coffee and scones, tried to do the washing without turning on the water and of course making scones with plain flour instead of SR.  Maybe I will be senile when there are a certain number of  things on my dementia list.  Maybe I will be senile when I don't know what a list is.  They say that you are not suffering from dementia when you lose your car keys but when you don't know what car keys are.  That is fine I do know what things are.  You will be the first to know when things take a turn for the worse.  You had better, because I will be too far gone to notice.

This geriatric is going to make a nice cup of ?
