Three Elderly Friends Were Bragging About Their Sharp Minds—Until One Simple Gesture Exposed the Truth
Three old ladies were sitting around the dinner table, sipping tea and commiserating about the frustrating struggles of growing older.
The first lady sighed and said, “I swear, my memory is completely shot. Just yesterday, I caught myself standing in front of the open refrigerator with a jar of mayonnaise in my hand, and for the life of me, I couldn’t remember if I was putting it away or about to make a sandwich!”
The second lady nodded in agreement. “Oh, that’s nothing! The other day, I found myself standing halfway up the staircase, and I completely froze. I had absolutely no idea whether I was on my way up to the bedroom or on my way down to the kitchen.”
The third lady smiled smugly, took a sip of her tea, and looked at her friends. “Well, bless your hearts, ladies, but I am so incredibly thankful that I don’t suffer from any of those memory problems. Touch wood!”
She rapped her knuckles firmly against the wooden dining table. Then, her eyes widened, she looked up toward the hallway, and excitedly announced:
“Oh! That must be the front door… I’ll go get it!”
