As You Get Older, Three Things Happen. The First Is Your Memory Goes… And I Can’t Remember the Other Two
Let’s talk about aging.
It’s inevitable.
One day you’re young, full of energy, remembering everyone’s birthday, and knowing where you left your keys.
The next?
You’re standing in the kitchen, holding a coffee mug, with no idea why you walked in.
You came in for something.
You know you did.
But what?
Was it coffee?
Did you want a snack?
Were you just avoiding your in-laws?
You can’t remember.
And then it hits you:
“As you get older, three things happen. The first is your memory goes, and I can’t remember the other two.”
It’s not just a joke.
It’s a universal truth.
And if you’ve ever:
- Forgotten your own password
- Walked into a room and blanked
- Said “What was his name?” about someone you just met five minutes ago…
Then congratulations.
You’re officially leveling up in the game of life.
And the main symptom?
Forgetting what the other symptoms are.
🧠 The Science of Forgetting: Why Your Brain Starts Playing Tricks
Let’s be real — your brain isn’t broken.
It’s just… overloaded.
Think of it like a phone with 47 apps running, 378 tabs open, and only 2% battery.
It still works.
But sometimes, it freezes.
And when you ask it, “Why did I walk into the kitchen?”…
It says:
“Not today, pal. I’m busy forgetting where I put your car keys.”
But seriously — what’s happening?
1. Your Brain Is Decluttering
As you age, your brain naturally prunes unused memories to make room for new ones.
It’s like digital housekeeping.
But sometimes, it deletes the wrong file.
Like the name of your childhood best friend.
Or the fact that you already told that story at dinner.
2. Multitasking Is a Lie
You think you’re great at doing five things at once?
You’re not.
You’re just bad at all of them.
And every time you switch tasks, your brain has to reload.
So when you’re interrupted mid-sentence?
You don’t just lose your train of thought.
You lose the whole train, the tracks, and the station.
3. Stress, Sleep, and Coffee
Lack of sleep, high stress, and too much caffeine mess with your memory.
And let’s be honest — if you’re over 30, you’re running on:
- 5 hours of sleep
- Anxiety about your student loans
- And your third cup of coffee
No wonder you can’t remember if you turned off the stove.
😂 The Top 5 Signs Your Memory Is “Retiring Early”
Let’s look at the most common senior moments — even if you’re not technically a senior (yet).
1. The Kitchen Conundrum
You walk into the kitchen.
You stand there.
You stare into space.
You have no idea why you came in.
Then, 10 minutes later, it hits you:
“Oh yeah… I wanted coffee.”
And you’re already drinking tea.
2. The Name Game
You see someone you know.
You smile.
You wave.
You open your mouth to say their name…
And nothing comes out.
So you say:
“Hey… you!”
And pray they don’t notice.
3. The “I Just Said That” Moment
You’re telling a story to your family.
Halfway through, your daughter says:
“Dad, you literally just told us this 20 minutes ago.”
You stare at her.
You have no memory of it.
And you say:
“Well, it’s a good story. Let me finish.”
4. The Lost Keys Mystery
You’ve looked everywhere.
Pockets.
Purse.
Under the couch.
Inside the fridge (don’t ask).
Then, you find them.
In your hand.
You’ve been holding them the whole time.
And you say:
“I knew they were around here somewhere.”
5. The Blank Stare
You’re in the middle of a sentence.
You know what you want to say.
But the word?
The name?
The point?
Gone.
You just… stop.
And everyone stares.
So you say:
“Anyway, what I meant to say was… something important.”
And move on.
📸 Real-Life “I Can’t Remember” Moments That Went Viral
These aren’t just jokes.
They’re real moments that millions have experienced — and filmed.
🍳 The Man Who Forgot He Was Cooking
A guy starts frying eggs.
He gets distracted by his phone.
He walks away.
He comes back 20 minutes later.
The pan is smoking.
The eggs are charcoal.
He stares.
He says:
“Huh. I guess I wasn’t hungry.”
The video gets 10 million views.
Caption: “When your memory ghosts you.”
🛒 The Woman Who Bought the Same Thing Twice
A woman buys milk at the grocery store.
She puts it in the cart.
She gets distracted.
She walks the aisles.
She sees milk again.
She thinks: “Oh good, I didn’t buy it yet.”
She adds it to the cart.
She does this three times.
At checkout, the cashier says:
“That’s four gallons of milk.”
She says:
“I must really love milk.”
It’s not a fail.
It’s a testament to modern life.
🧓 Why This Joke Is So Relatable (And Why It’s Okay)
Because aging isn’t about decline.
It’s about accumulation.
You’ve lived a lot.
You’ve loved, worked, raised kids, paid bills, survived trends.
Your brain isn’t failing.
It’s prioritizing.
It remembers:
- Your child’s first word
- The song that played at your wedding
- How to make your grandma’s soup
But it forgets:
- Where you put your glasses (they’re on your head)
- The name of the actor in that movie (you saw it yesterday)
- Why you opened the fridge (you just wanted to look)
And that’s okay.
Because the things you do remember?
They’re the ones that matter.
📣 Final Thoughts
So yes — as you get older, three things happen.
The first is your memory goes.
And the other two?
Well…
I can’t remember.
But here’s what I do remember:
That laughter is the best medicine.
That forgetting is human.
And that the best moments in life aren’t the ones you recall perfectly…
They’re the ones that make you say, “Wait, did that really happen?”
So go ahead — laugh at the blank stares, the lost keys, and the stories you’ve told twice in one night.
Because if you can’t remember the other two things that happen when you get older…
At least you can remember to laugh about it.
And that’s exactly what “Fun Source” is all about.
