Why Old People Forget Stuff

I think I figured out why old people forget stuff.  BECAUSE IT'S NOT THAT IMPORTANT!!!!  Just think of how much mental energy it takes to create our daily 'to do' lists.  Here is the typical to do list:
1.  Help Johnny with homework;
2.  Pay the bills;
3.  Do the laundry;
4.  Feed the cat;
5.  Volunteer for the crab feed;
6.  Mow the lawn;
7.  Clean the garage;
8.  Sell cookies for the fundraiser;
9.  Fill out endless forms for school.
In the grand scheme of things, none of this means SHIT.  Old people have reached that place of mental peace, and have the courage to purge all of this busywork bullshit from their consciousness without the guilt of the judgmental 'bored moms on prozac do-gooders committee' breathing down their necks.  Bored Mom's opinion doesn't mean anything -- nor all of their stupid, trumped up causes that do nothing more than to get their own name printed in the school newspaper with the ultimate goal of adding it to their personal resume for later use.  Yeah.... you're acting all globally like you really care and shit.... whoooopeeeee.

Live your life as you see fit.  Raise your kids as you see fit.  You don't have to do anything "they" say you have to do. Believe me.  Their lives are just as screwed up if not more than yours -- and THEY are preaching to YOU how to live?  Please.  Just like old people, the 'bored prozac mom do gooders' won't remember who you are in 5 years anyway.  Again.... it does not really matter.
