I’ll say this much, my wife’s 93 year old mother lives with us. “Mama’’ is a wonderful woman and her mind is sharp as a tack. She used to be an account with Sears. She balances her own checkbook to the exact penny. She does cross word puzzles and is a Suduku champ. And she knows what night the garbage goes out. I’m fifty=seven freakin’ years old and for the life of me I still don’t know what freakin’ night the bloody garbage goes out.

My trick for remembering to take the trash out in the morning. On my way to bed before garbage day I put an empty milk jug in the hallway leading from my bedroom. When I kick it in the morning I remember.

In my experience, that's probably a "man" thing. It has something to do with never really wanting to do that job, or most housework jobs, in the first place. Many men have that stuff down to a science. And some women, too!
