Let's Rub Butts. Hearing Aid Horns and My Memory.
Has anyone ever heard the expression, "Let's rub butts" - then you rub your butt on someone?
I swear I thought I made that up but I made a reference to it once and a blogger said she does that too. I do it to my wife while lying in bed as if it's something that I'm really into - "Let's rub butts!" Was that expression in a movie maybe?
It's hard to remember the things that I make up. It's also hard to remember if the jokes I make up are real or not.
My friend "The Child" was talking about his super old uncle recently. I asked, "You mean the one where everyone was screaming at the top of their lungs to talk to him because he refused to get a hearing aid?"
"Yeah that's him."
"And he had one of those horns that they used in the 1800 to hear?
"He didn't have one of those!"
See what happens there? It was an exaggeration of the story I made years ago and then after hearing the story over the years, I forget that the part that I made up was just a joke.
One wonders how bad this will eventually get. Is anyone else forgetful like this? Maybe I'll start pushing the focus on you guys so I don't look like the senile one.
