‘It’s International Women’s Day. Why aren’t you smiling?’

It's also a bloke with a white beard. And definitely *nothing* else. Dunno what you're talking about.

Oh yes, didn't see that what with all the other stuff going on.

I live for this kind of thing

Why you can remember every word of a song from 25 years ago – but not why you walked into the room Forgetting why you walked into a room isn’t a sign of cognitive decline. It’s your brain doing exactly what it evolved to do.
