That ‘senior moment’

WE all have them – moments when we forget what we were looking for or when we forget to hang the washing out.
I had my own ‘senior moment’ yesterday when I almost drove to work with a bag full of doggy doo. I have two little dogs who sleep inside at night. They have a puppy training pad on which they relieve themselves during the night. In the morning I wrap the pad in paper towel, put it in a plastic shopping bag and take it to the bin on my way to the car.
Yesterday, I was on my way to the car and I had some other things to take with me. My arms were full and I also had the bag of doggy doo in my hands. I got into my car with the bag and I was halfway down the driveway before I realised I still had the bag with me, sat nicely on the passenger seat of my car.
Some of our readers have shared their senior moments and we would love to hear yours.
“Too often I put the milk in the pantry and the cereal in the fridge. It drives my husband crazy.” – Wanda Wright
“It is very frustrating when I go looking for something that I happen to have in my hand all along. I do this often with my glasses when they are on my head or my phone when it’s in my hand.” – Robert Carr
“Two weeks ago, I did the shopping and must have put the dishwashing liquid in the laundry and the laundry liquid in the kitchen. That was a soapy mistake.“ – Julie Bramstead
