Got Smarts?

I'm sure there are those cringing at the thought and saying "Why are we doing this?" I had similar thoughts myself, but then I went home this past weekend to celebrate my father's birthday. On the morning of this special day I went downstairs and greeted him with a hearty "Happy Father's Day!" He stood there looking perplexed and awaiting my admission that it was a silly joke on my part. Sadly it was no joke. I didn't realize what was wrong and my father had to remind me that we've already done the Father's Day thing this year. As if this weren't bad enough, when he opened his gifts and cards, the card from my mother read "Happy Anniversary!"
Today's world isn't the one my parents and grandparents grew up in. Apparently senility sets in before retirement age. Young, healthy men and women are losing basic mental processing and storage capabilities. The microchip in the soccer ball is only the beginning. It's a subtle way of pushing that technology to where it is really needed - inside my brain.

It could have been worse. You could have brought a gift for your mom instead.
