Yesterday I had a great idea for today’s short post. Then I forgot what it was.
Randy has a theory. He believes our thoughts exist in another dimension in bubbles that float all around us. They’re attached to us with something like the glue used on sticky notes. As we age, that glue becomes less and less sticky so sometimes, if we move too fast, the bubble doesn’t stick well and becomes unattached, but still floating around. You know how sometimes you walk into a room but can’t remember why (come on…you know you’ve done that!)? Randy’s theory is that all you have to do is walk back to where you were when you decided to move and the thought bubble reattaches so you remember why you went into that room. Don’t laugh. It works. If you think I’m kidding, try it next time you forget why you went into another room. And then let me know in the comments what happens.
I thought of the great idea for this post when I was in the pool yesterday afternoon. I didn’t realize I’d forgotten the idea until much later and by then I’m sure that dang thought bubble had drifted away. I never did remember what the good topic was. But the experience made me remember thought bubbles and that made a quick, amusing (I hope) post.
As we age, we gotta learn to improvise.
