Where did that come from, or the power of memory revealed...

So last week my adult autistic/legally blind son and I were out enjoying a meal at Dairy Queen. We had finished eating and I was taking our table trash to the bin which was located behind my son when I heard him make an exclamation. When I turned around I saw that he had knocked over his large soft drink and the mess had gone onto the table, onto the chair where I had been sitting, and on the floor. The words that came out of my mouth were "Smooth move, Ex-Lax!" which is a phrase I learned in grade school back in the 1950s and which I'm sure I haven't thought of or used since then. I'm surprised at this feat of memory and wonder what other discoveries there are yet to make!

2. Ah, Makes one marvel.

He could have just used the usually employed but tacky 4 letter word......but he came up with a fascinating and more socially acceptable substitute as comment.

3. I've heard it said that the older you get, the more you earliest memories come back to you.

The downside is that you can't remember what you had for breakfast that day.
