Re: Funniest ADD Moment — What's yours?

This is funny always after the fact, but I always forget to put on oven mitts to grab stuff out of the oven. Once, in University, I was talking to a friend and wanted to test to see if the spaghetti was cooked enough yet. So, forgetting to use a fork, I just dipped my fingers in the boiling water to retrieve a strand… luckily in all cases my reaction time is very good so far I haven’t been seriously burned.

Just a few weeks ago, while with my son at the optometrist’s office, she was taking a family history. When I mentioned that there was a family history of high blood pressure, she asked Who? and I mentioned my father.. then said that I had had high blood pressure in my 20’s. She was upset that I hadn’t told her that before, and wrote it in my chart. But, by the end of the appointment, after thinking about it, I had to go back to her and admit that I had never had high blood pressure, that it was in fact. high cholesterol that I had had, and I had ‘forgotten’ which one it was. Luckily at the time I could blame it on the sleep deprivation of a mom with a new baby, but in reality it was just my ADD rearing it’s ugly head.
