To many boomers, telling stories is a way of teaching and sharing
information the teller feels is important.
A lesson learned for example.
Telling the same one over and over is just due to the teller not being able
to remember who or when he has told it before.
My wife says I do that.
I'll be telling her what happened at the grocery store
and she says "I know, you told me that yesterday".
It could be a sign of something bad, but more likely just
occasional absent-mindedness.
She also says I've done it since we first met a long time ago
Quote:
An elderly couple had dinner at another couple's house, and after eating, the wives left the table and went into the kitchen.
The two gentlemen were talking, and one said, "Last night we went out to a new restaurant and it was really great I would recommend it very highly.
The other man said, "What is the name of the restaurant?"
The first man thought and thought and finally said, "What is the name of that flower you give to someone you love? You know... the one that's red and has thorns."
"Do you mean a rose?"
"Yes, that's the one," replied the man.
He then turned towards the kitchen and yelled, "Rose, what's the name of that restaurant we went to last night?"
