Dang Doors

[F, Calla & Luca]

See....I knew it wasn't us, it's those Dang Doors



Thank Goodness finally a logical answer! hahahahaha



.Subject: It's the doors

Whew! What a relief to learn this...



Ever walk into a room with some purpose in mind, only to completely forget what that purpose was?


Turns out, doors themselves are to blame for these strange memory lapses.

Psychologists at the University of Notre Dame have discovered that passing through a doorway triggers what's known as an event boundary in the mind, separating one set of thoughts and memories from the next. Your brain files away the thoughts you had in the previous room and prepares a blank slate for the new locale.



So it's not aging, it's those stupid doors!!



Thank goodness for scientific studies like this.

I needed to know this.  Now I know I still have some brains left. I say, "Down with doors!"

[Leslie and Halas]

How far can we take this?  Maybe obesity in our country can be blamed on the very popular open-concept houses.  Your brain always thinks you're in the kitchen, because there are no doors telling your brain that you're out of the kitchen, so you're always doing what you're normally doing in the kitchen, which is eating.  Your brain thinks the entire house is one giant kitchen.  It's never preparing a blank slate for the next locale.  So we can blame doors for memory loss, and we can blame the lack of doors for obesity.  Doors are really out to get us, even if it is with their absence.  It's a stretch, but obesity really needs a scapegoat.  It can't all be McDonald's fault. :)

Leslie, I think you may be on to something big, hold that thought.

[Adina P]

Haha...I like it!

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

LOL, Leslie!

[F, Calla & Luca]

Brilliant. And if you're in the kitchen all the time you can't ever forget where the food is nor can you exercise.

[DJ & Chance]

Funny!

[Cathy, Fozzie & Shaggy]

Fantastic reasoning...I going with it!!!

[Nancy, Ned, Clancy, and Charlie]

Good excuse, Leslie.

[Lonnie & Libby Lu]

Amen!  It makes sense because I always go back to where I started to remember what I was going to do and nine times out of ten it works:)

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

What a relief!

Hilarious Leslie, sounds as fool proof as the open doors theory!

F. the passing through doors theory would also explain why my DH never remembers what I asked him to do before he left the room....I guess I will have to forgive him if I use it.
