An old couple was having problems remembering things, So they decided to go to their doctor to make sure nothing was wrong with them. When they arrived at the doctor's, they explained to the doctor about the problems they were having with their memory. After examining the couple, the doctor told them that they were physically fine but advised them to start making notes to help them remember things.
Later that night while watching TV, the old man stood up from his chair and his wife asked，“Where are you going?”He replied，“The kitchen.”She asked，“Will you get me a bowl of ice cream.”He replied. “Sure.”She then asked him，“Shouldn’t you write it down so that you can remember it?”He said，“No，I can remember that.”
When the man was walking towards the kitchen，the woman shouted，“Dear，I would also like some strawberries with that. You had better take notes because I know you’ll forget that too.”He replied.“I can remember it all.You want a bowl of ice cream and strawberries.”She added，“Well，I would also like cream(奶油)on top.I know you will forget that，so please write it somewhere.”He shouted angrily.“I don’t need to write that at all.I can remember everything.”Then he rushed into the kitchen.

In a cold winter, a couple had to move out of their big house because of bankruptcy(破产). The husband worked day and night but with no care of his wife. So she thought, “He doesn’t love me any more; he just thinks about his work.”
One day, she wanted to take a shower, but her husband stopped her at the door. “Let me take it first, OK?” “Why not let me take it first?” she asked. “I’m tired, dear. You take it later, OK?” She was very sad.
On a rainy day, she found nothing to do and turned on his computer. After a few minutes, her eyes were full of tears...it was his diary:
Today, I was quite sad. She asked me why I was always taking the shower first, and I said I was tired. She was unhappy. I wasn’t as rich as before! We moved to the small house and it was very cold. I found that if one person took the shower first, the bathroom could get a little warmer. So I always rushed to the bathroom first. When she took the shower, the bathroom could get warmer, at least 1°C. I can’t give her more, but at least I can give her 1°C love.
