‘Well, I’d like some strawberries on top, too. Maybe you should write it down, so not to forget it?’
He says, ‘I can remember that. You want a bowl of ice cream w​i​t​h​ s​t​r​a​w​b​e​r​r​i​e​s​.​

The 94-year-old yells back, „I don’t know. I’ll come up and see.“ She starts up the stairs and pauses „Was I going up the stairs or down?“
The 92-year-old is sitting in the living room having tea, listening to her sisters, she shakes her head and says, „I sure hope I never get that forgetful, knock on wood.“ at the same time thumping her walking stick on the wooden floor. She then yells, „I’ll come up and help both of you as soon as I see who’s at the door.“

A group of elderly friends had dinner at another couple’s house, and after eating, the ladies left the table and went into the kitchen.
The two gentlemen were talking, and one said, ‘Last night we went out to a new restaurant and it was really great.. I would recommend it very highly.’
The other man said, ‘What is the name of the restaurant?’
The first man thought and thought and finally said, ‘What is the name of that flower you give to someone you love?… you know, the one that’s red and has thorns.’
‘Do you mean a rose?’
‘Yes, that’s the one,’ replied the man. He then turned towards the kitchen and yelled, ‘Rose, what’s the name of that restaurant we went to last night?’
