I'm too slick for this

     I'm too sick to be left home alone right now. I keep forgetting the dog outside and have left the dog outside for more than 6 hrs and she is upset about it. Yet when someone came over and woke me up to tell me that I had left her out there and that she was crying. She came back later to check on me and tell me that the dog was outside and crying again she said "If there is anything I can do to help just say so." People really don't mean it when they say that. Not fully realizing this in my semi-unconscious state, I replied "The dishes all need washing, the garbage needs taking out, scoop the cat box, walk the dog, do the laundry, finish canning the grape juice, and if at all possible cook me some soup." Her husband burst out laughing and took her away. Too bad it didn't work, someone really needs to do some dishes because something is really starting to stink in the sink.
