Aging: Don't forget your sense of humor!

I am convinced that the one thing that is really important to keep intact as we age, is our sense of humor!
I have always been good at multi-tasking. I really don't think I'm losing that ability just yet... I didn't seem to have any problems dishing out the leftover rice and curry on Sunday while getting the pickles out for supper. At the same time I gestured (with my head - both hands were occupied) to the yummy cinnamon-raisen bread that was cooling on the counter, and suggested my daughter try it.
Apparently my brain and mouth don't multitask or coordinate as well as I'd like, though. When I looked up, my daughter had a very puzzled look on her face and asked, "Mom, what are rice pickles?"
Only then, did I do a quick 'rewind' in my mind, and heard myself telling her she should try my rice pickles!!
