My
husband eats soup more than a couple times a week. I’m not particularly fond of soup. I like New
England Clam Chowder, Manhattan Clam Chowder, Tomato soup doctored up with
parmesan cheese and pesto, French Onion soup, Chicken Lemon soup, and Chicken Gnocchi.
That’s it. For the past couple weeks something’s been working on us. The week
before last it finally hit us. We were sick. Fevers with chills. So we drank
lots of fluids , took plenty of vitamin C, and you guessed it, ate soup.
During this time I had an incident at the dinner table, that .frightened
me on the one hand, and made me smile on the other. Here goes. I had in front of me, my bowl of
Chicken Gnocchi soup, and a container of Raspberry yogurt. I was alternating
from one to the other. Then between bites, I found myself blowing on the
spoonful of soup, with every mouthful, because it was steaming hot. The yogurt
obviously was not. However, at one
point, while talking to my husband, I found myself blowing on my spoon and thought, ‘oh no’ when
I suddenly realized I was actually blowing on the cold yogurt and not the soup.
I instantly felt stupid. How could I make such an obvious mistake? Was I getting Alzheimer’s or dementia? My
husband looked over at me and I told him what happened. He burst out laughing.
We have so little to laugh about these days, and it was rare to see him so
jovial. And before I could help myself, I too was laughing. We both had tears
rolling down our cheeks. Probably not all that funny to you. But to us, it gave
levity to the moment, and having to deal with all our health problems.
Unfortunately it also got me thinking about growing older and wondering what
other absentminded things I might do, as time wears on? Perhaps I’m reading too
much into this? Maybe I was simply trying to multi-task and the situation got
out of hand? On the other hand, confusing yogurt and soup is not an ordinary
occurrence. Should I be worried? Is this part of a bigger cause and effect? Or
has something like this, ever happened to you?

Ha ha...you shouldn't be worried! Honest mistake. 😊
But be careful what you say. Don't put that on yourself by saying you are getting older or getting this or that. You'll start to believe it.
Please don't worry, sometimes I think I'd not have anything to laugh about if it wasn't for the the silly things I do. Thankfully we have some thing laugh about even if it is ourselves. A good laugh is always the best medicine!
Ha ha ha hahah That was funny. Don't read anything into it. You are fine. I do things like that all the time and, as far as I know, I don't have dementia. ha hahaha Hope you have a good Sunday today and a great week ahead. Hugs. Susan
We all do things like that sometimes it was good you got to laugh about it. I'm 85 and up until I turned that age I never thought much about getting old, but lately a different story. Smile. Don't worry you are okay. Take care, Jean
Like you, I'm not particularly fond of soup … I'd rather chew my calories. (Unless I'm feeling under the weather, then it has to be Chicken Matzo Ball.) I'm sorry you two are still plagued by that yukky-whatever, but really. This episode is hilarious. I like to think you were so into your hubby's company that your food took second place.
PS - If I were to list all the stupid things I've done lately we'd be here all day.
The blowing on the yogurt incident is funny, but I wouldn't be worried about it. I do similar absent-minded things all the time.
Sometimes I just do things automatically without thinking. Other times my mind is going in a dozen directions at once and everything gets muddled.
I love soup, especially in the winter. And you listed three of my absolute favorites - New England clam chowder, Manhattan clam chowder, and tomato.
When I was a kid, tomato was the only soup I would eat (and also my grandmother's homemade Hungarian noodle soup).
You are okay!!!!!!!!!!!! I do it all the time and I am okay!!!!!!!!!!!
Right????????????
Hope you feel better.
I think you are fine. Besides you admit you both needed a good laugh. You may have too much worry on your mind . Prayers for you both. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
For give me but I am laughing. Sherry got here first since we are both trying to catch up but only one of us comments. HA! She was saying something like you (me) would do.
Then she cracked up at Chatty's comment.
Anyway, Nope you are fine, that is our diagnosis.. We like soup, but also LOVE NE Clam Chowder.
Also love you (even if you cool your yogurt. ) LOL
Sherry & jack....
you should see me trying to make a call on my remote or use the calculator to change the channels on the TV. You would laugh. Tommy laughed and so did I. I am quite sure some would declare me senile. I am not!
Oh, this just sounds like you were going back and forth with the soup and yogurt, and that you mixed them up. But it was good that it got the both of you laughing. I can totally relate cause when things are so hard in life and we aren't laughing like we should, something triggers us and we crack up. I was just thinking yesterday about some of the stuff that Nel has said in the past, and it got me bursting with laughter. Maybe that's just what you needed. Don't worry, you are good. And your stories I can always relate to. : )
