Drabble by Kevin Fagan for July 16, 2022

ME: what’s for dinner?

Wife: you just ate dinner 20 minutes ago!

ME: Oh…was it good?

Talk about your short-term memory!

Hmmm…. Brandon, is that you?

They go by what their stomach tells them.

With food times, Wally is like one woman in the room next to my mother.

When I’m there visiting, it is always the same questions to the PSW: “When’s lunch ?” I might hear that question umpteen times during the four hours plus …

The reply is always the same: “We just finished serving you.”

The next question is: “What did we have?”, or she might ask: “Did I eat everything?” Each time the PSW gives an asnwer, or says something else to distract her from thinking about food…

Then she says: “I’m hungry.”

PSW replies: “The tea will be here soon.”

A few minutes later, the woman starts with her questions from the beginning.

The only time she doesn’t ask about food is when her daughter is there, who comes to visit twice a week.

I demand that this meal be rebooted!

Dogs do seem to have amnesia when it come to food.

My problem is I am 80 and have been retired now for 20 years and am partially handcapped and eat when i am not hungrty,out of boredom!!

June doesn’t who is more trouble to feed: Wally or Ralph.
