Very cute, guess he showed them. If he was bright enough to notice the calendar and the note of his wife birthday, I would say he is okay. I am going on 81, and in the last couple years I have noticed a difference. So many times I have to really search for someones name, or a date, or what year did I have my hysterectomy? But the secret is you must forgive yourself. My computer in my brain is overloaded.

Wickedly clever twist! This is fine work in a flash--no need for more words to tell this amusing tale of table-turning! Good luck--this may be a winner. Cheers. LIZ

Haha, what a great answer he gave the doctor. I enjoyed your contest entry, Mystery Writer. Your story is well-told with great imagery. I could envision this as I read it. Love the image you paired with your story.
Best wishes.
Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan
