Boil the water

Is anybody bothered by Ron’s memory capability? 

Yesterday, my friend Helena came over and we had a nice dinner together.  Some random topics came up.  One of them was about pregnancy.  Helena is a young mom, she said she feels herself dumber after she had the baby.  She can not remember things as well as before.  (I have heard others said the same thing, oh poor women, always suffering).   Ron said immediately after… if he was a woman and had a baby, he probably couldn’t remember his own name anymore.  oh right, I totally agree with that. 

If somebody wonders why, here is one thing happened afterwards.  I asked Ron to boil some water in the electric kettle to refill the teapot.  I saw him filled the water, turned on the kettle and sat back to the table.  Perfect!  We kept talking and probably five minutes later, the kettle turned off by itself — water was boiled.  I asked Ron to bring the kettle over to refill the teapot.  He went to the kitchen — good boy! Then he yelled and turned on the kettle again ” Damn, I forgot turning on the kettle!”
