The Way Things Get?

An old couple often forgetting things decided to see a doctor for some help. The doctor said the best thing I know for you to do is write things down and let your notes remind you.
That night Ma asked Pa to fetch her a dish of ice cream.
Ma said you better write it down. Pa said no need to, you want a dish of ice cream. Ma said I would also like some strawberries on the ice cream.
You better write it down, Pa said.
No need to. You want a dish of ice cream with strawberries on top.
Then Ma said, "Would you put some whipping cream on it? Write it down."
Pa said, "No need to. You want a dish of ice cream with strawberries and whipped cream on top."
Twenty minutes later Pa came back and handed Ma a plate with bacon and eggs.
Ma asked, "Where is the toast?"
