What do you never want to forget?

We all have a phrase or saying we tend to fall back on when something startling, unfortunate, or annoying happens. My wife will utter “Oh, Dear!” when one of these situations arise. Without fail, I respond “Yes, Honey?” To which she’ll generally respond, “I knew you were gonna say that.” That is, unless she’s developed a momentary case of that deafness people get when staring at their mobile device. This may have begun in a sarcastic manner, but has morphed into a loving one. Now, I never want to forget to respond “Yes, Honey?” because that could signal the beginnings of Alzheimer’s. Either that or I simply no longer care enough about our relationship to placate the expectations she has after 12 years of marriage. Or there’s the possibility it’s a sign that I have the beginnings of Alzheimer’s. Phoebe will often exclaim “Oh, Dear!” I’ll respond with, “Yes, Honey?” To which she counters, “I knew you were gonna say that.” Wait . . . did I already—? I guess it’s a race to see which one of us will be the first to forget their part of our little senility proof.
