Whew! That was close!

Betty was out shopping Saturday when her phone rang.  I answered it and it was my youngest daughter.  She told me UPS would be delivering the box on Monday.  I asked her what box?  She said, "Mom's birthday present."  So I said I'll be watching for it.  I can never remember these things.  Which day is her birthday and how old is she going to be?

I get in my car and drive to the bank and open the safe deposit box and find her birth certificate.  It's Feb 25 and she's going to be 80.

Next stop Albertsons to get a card and a box of candy.

After she went to bed Saturday night I got out the box and signed the card and put it on the coffee table.

She's aways up in the morning before I am so by the time I got up yesterday morning she's happy and gives me a kiss because I remembered.

Great story. Good chance to get another sim invest granted.

You sure that Betty doesn't read the Avsim forums? 

[birdguy]

Not a chance Barry.

I did post the story to Sue.  She replied with a link to greeting card website that helps you remember.

I posted her back that men aren't supposed to remember...it's in our genes.

She replied, "It's not in your genes, it's in your jeans."

She's probably right.

  I have found that men have a one track mind, and the train is derailed !  This begins at puberty. Women at least regain their sanity at menopause...

Ya know Sue, I once read that 40% of women think the first thing a man thinks about when he sees a woman is sex.  That makes 60% of women incredibly naïve.

Yeah, most of us know better,  if we've been around the block a bit.  I find a lot of people in general to be incredibly naive...  but they'll outgrow it.  Someday they too will be surly old codgers !

 LOL
