Senior Moment

"Three Sons"

Three sons left home, went out on their own
and prospered. Getting back together, they
discussed the gifts they were able to give
their elderly mother.

The first said, "I built a big house for our
mother." The second said, "I sent her a
Mercedes with a driver." The third smiled
and said, "I've got you, both beat. You
remember how Mom enjoyed reading the
Bible? And you know she can't see very well.
I sent her a remarkable parrot that recites
the entire Bible. It took elders in the church
12 years to teach him. He's one of a kind.
  Mama just has to name the chapter and
verse, and the parrot recites it."

Soon thereafter, Mom sent out her letters
of thanks: "Milton," she wrote one son, "the
house you built is so huge. I live in only one
room, but I have to clean the whole house."

"Gerald," she wrote to another, "I am too old
to travel. I stay most of the time at home,
so I rarely use the Mercedes. And the driver
is so rude!"

"Dearest Donald," she wrote to her third son,
"you have the good sense to know what your
mother likes. The chicken was delicious."

"Senior Moment"

Two elderly ladies had been friends for
many decades. Over the years they had
shared all kinds of activities and adventures.

Lately, their activities had been limited to
meeting a few times a week to play cards.
One day they were playing cards when one
looked at the other and said, "Now don't
get mad at me.....I know we've been friends
for a long time.....but I just can't think of your
name! I've thought and thought, but I can't
remember it. Please tell me what your
name is."

Her friend glared at her. For at least three
minutes she just stared and glared at her.
Finally she said, "How soon do you need
to know?"
