old age

Got a story we need to share with everybody. We went to Wal-mart today to get a pair of rubber boots. We need them to walk down the middle of the creeks while we are gold panning. Its way too cold to just step  into the water. The water temp is just above freezing. And sometimes the banks are so steep its almost impossible to scramble down the bank and totally impossible to drag my butt back up it. Ok,back to the boots. We drove 40 miles one way to get these and when we got to Walmart we bought lettuce, tomatoes,wine (lots of wine),chips, and walked out without even thinking about those damn boots!  Can you believe! Im getting in the truck when Susan starts laughing her head off. I cant imagine whats causing the hysterical laughter until she stops and says " What did we come here for?" Of course, ive got  a blank stare i still dont have a clue..At this point she says "boots?" D'ooh! So we go back in and find out that Wal-mart is out of boots anyway. Are we dealing with senility,old age,too much wine or what? someone give me the answer quickly, before i forget the question.
