In my ladies meeting this week I attempted to make a comment. I referred to what a previous woman said, added a little then I attempted to connect the two ideas to a thought just made by my best friend.
With an open hand I gently pointed to her and  said,”And as..” and I forgot her name! So I tried again, “and as…”. I was still couldn’t remember her name. But I tried a third time slowing so perhaps a word miracle might happen but no.” All I could say was, “And as…” then I topped it all off with,”.. that person back there whose name I suddenly can’t remember…”
My best friend interrupted the my crumbling point by saying “I’m SO glad I’m not the only who forgets a name.” and the entire room erupted in a conflation of noise, laughter, and confirmation.nancymauerman.com
