Do you Remember?

Couple in their nineties are both having problems remembering
things. During a checkup, the doctor tells them that they're physically
okay, but they might want to start writing things down to help them remember

Later that night, while watching TV, the old man gets up from
his chair. "Want anything while I'm in the kitchen?" he asks.
"Will you get me a bowl of ice cream?"
"Sure."
"Don't you think you should write it down so you can remember
it?" she asks.
"No, I can remember it."
"Well, I'd like some strawberries on top, too. Maybe you should
write it down, so's not to forget it?"
He says, "I can remember that. You want a bowl of ice cream
with strawberries."
"I'd also like whipped cream. I'm certain you'll forget that,
write it down?" she asks.
Irritated, he says, "I don't need to write it down, I can
remember it! Ice cream with strawberries and whipped cream - I got it, for
goodness sake!"
Then he toddles into the kitchen. After about 20 minutes,
The old man returns from the kitchen and hands his wife a plate
of bacon and eggs. She stares at the plate for a moment.
"Where's my toast ?"
