I have a question, and I want somebody to explain this to me. 😂

How is it that I can remember the words to a song I haven't heard in 40 years, but I can't remember what I walked into the kitchen to get FIVE MINUTES AGO? 🤣

And here's the really strange part.

If that old song comes on the radio, I can sing every word without missing a beat!

But ask me what I had for lunch yesterday, and I have to stop and think about it.

Is my brain saving all the good stuff and throwing away everything else? 😂

Well Done Margie! You must have really thought this through before posting it. Perhaps you remember the words to a song because that's something that made you happy.

I don't think your brain is, like you said, is 'saving all the good stuff and throwing away everything else'. What I think is happening is, your brain is letting you know the difference between the luxuries and the necessities.

Here's how I see it. Old songs you love, as well as old movies, make you happy, and every time you think of them, you get excited and want to listed or watch them again. On the other hand, what you had for lunch was hopefully very satisfying at the time. For example, take the day after Thanksgiving. This year, like every year, I'll probably have leftover turkey, dressing, cranberry sauce, the works. At the time, it's going to bring me enormous pleasure. But am I going to get excited about that wonderful meal two weeks later? I don't think so.

Margie, let's be realistic. You have to eat. If you don't, you'll get sick. But you don't have to listen to or sing that old song from 40 years ago. You do it because you want to, and that's what makes a difference.

Does anyone remember the episode from "I Love Lucy" when a lady asked Ricky why he does shows for a living? His answer was, "We've developed a strange habit. We like to eat."

I remember that. The episode was "Pioneer Women".
