Here's a good one for ya...
Last night I needed to go into the back room (just a spare bedroom we use for storage) to get something (I've already forgotten what it was) out of there. So I'm walking down the hallway and I get to the room and open the door and as soon as I walked in, my mind went blank. And I said to myself, "What am I doing? I didn't need to come in here," so I walked back out, closing the door behind me. Then I get halfway down the hall and said to myself AGAIN, "Wait, what am I doing, I *DID* need to go in there," so I went back and got what I needed.
That time I didn't forget what it was I needed, but I forgot that I needed to go in there in the first place.
And now, sitting here thinking, I still can't remember what it was I needed out of there last night. Paper plates maybe? Oh yeah, now I remember, toilet paper. When I buy toilet paper (or anything else) in bulk, I stick it in the back room and I'd gone in there to get out another pack.
Good grief. I need to just go back to bed and stay there for about 5 years.
