PEOPLE NEED TO BE REMINDED?

PEOPLE NEED TO BE REMINDED?

Maybe, we all have a memory problem?

How many of us has ever called someone by the wrong name?

I have called people Dad...

Knowing they're not...

Something I will call you if you remind me of him...

It's definitely not a compliment...

If I call you Mom...

That is a major compliment knowing you are not my Mom...

​​​​​​My Grandmother would call me my Cousin's name...

It happens...

She lived with him of course, she would be more used to saying that name instead of mine...

She would call me that a lot...

I took that as she must really say his name a lot...

Who has never forgotten to do something?

You can meet some people in their Nineties and they're sharp as a tack...

You can meet someone in their sixties and they don't remember what they had for lunch...

You can ask a child the same question...

How many times do they say...

I don't remember...

Why is that?

Where they placed something and don't remember...

When we say we found it in the last place we looked?

Who has a memory of an Elephant other than an Elephant?

We're human...

But, hopefully we don't forget everything unless we have such an injury that makes us not able to remember...

It's called amnesia in case anyone forgot...

Name one perfect human...

I'll wait...

Should we all just be locked up and put away?
