Adding to the forgetful list

Sir,– I wish to add a few additions to the list of things that we of a certain lineage forget.

We already have the family member ringing our phone so we can hear it somewhere in the house, the lost glasses (they’re on your head Dad!) and the car keys left in the door.

Now it’s notes in the pocket: phone Dave, Friday (which Dave, what Friday?), mysterious phone number, urgent (why is it urgent?) and, finally, confirm appointment tomorrow (what appointment and for what?) – Yours, etc,
