Instead of the usual Geezer Moments, this time I have something different, but really the same. You say, what are you talking about, Sammy? Ever heard of “Baby Brain” or “Pregnancy Brain?” Well, I hadn’t until my personal banker told me about her pregnancy experiences, suggesting a strong resemblance to Geezer Moments. Read these and see if you find similarities between the two afflictions.
“In 24 hours’ time, I locked all the keys to my car inside of it, having to go to the dealership to get a key that can only unlock my car. Then, that night, I was closing at a local drugstore, and I went home with the master set of keys to the whole store in my pocket!”
“On another occasion, I was having a conversation with someone and couldn’t think of a simple word that anyone should know…that word was ‘sentence!’”
“Anytime during the pregnancy, I would have specific tasks at work, and if I didn’t write them down, I wouldn’t have any clue what they were 5 minutes after they were given to me. It got to the point my husband said to me, ‘This baby better be a frickin genius, because it is making you stupid!’”

So, is pregnancy or baby brain a precursor to Geezer Moments? Well, certainly not for males, but … probably not for females either. I’m sure there are some moms and dads out there with similar stories. I’m still waiting for one from you. I know you have “moments.” Send them to me at greengeezer9@comcast.net. I am looking forward to hearing from you.
