Moms' Memory

When mothers begin to age they begin to forget. I remember when I was fourteen, my mother forgot my birthday and my carrot cake.

She forgot for four months, but made up for it with an extra big carrot cake.

Well, she did it again. I turned seventy last week and Mom forgot. She called four days after to let me know she was improving because it was only four days and not four months.

I'm really beginning to be concerned about her memory. This is the second time she has forgotten my birthday. the first was in 1952 and now in 2008. If this keeps up I probably will not even get a call in 2038 when I turn one hundred.
