It's weird the things John remembers and the things he doesn't. Recently I dropped a Trader Joe's box of dark chocolate peanut butter cups on the floor spilling about half of them. Well they're a precious, delicious commodity so I scooped them up, brushed them off, and kept them! John was appalled. He refused to eat them. And then over the next week, whenever I took them out to eat them, he refused them because some of them had been on the floor. Refusing sweets is totally out of character for him. But the fact that I spilled them all over the floor? THAT he remembers! He doesn't remember that I asked him to close the frig door that he left open, and he doesn't remember that I've asked him to take his pills 15 times (no exaggeration), but he remembers the peanut butter cups. It's the strangest thing. He seems to remember negative things, and not positive things. So odd.
