Delightful Forgetfulness Of Old Age


Delightful Forgetfulness Of Old Age

“Do you want some ice cream? I’ll take a spoon for you.”

                          ***

“Where is the ice cream? There was a lot in the box, yesterday in our fridge.”

“I don’t know? Then our son must have eaten it. Who else?”

But as I returned disappointed to the table, how happy I was, as there it was just beside my plate.

“Who put it there?”

“You, but forgot when you went away to  take a spoon for me, you blockhead.”

“What a delightful forgetfulness, you little fool. Ha. Ha. Let us enjoy.” So said Opa Johan to his wife.
