A tool is right

Dad: "So do you want know how I remembered to buy all of things we needed for dinner tonight?!"

"Well, see what I did was I listed all the things we needed to make cubans in my head. So, we've got the meat- ham, salami, Spanish pork roast. Then the cheese- swiss. And then of course, the cuban bread. So I made a story in my head to help me remember these items at the grocery store, because you know how bad I am, I always forget something........ANYWAY, where was I? Oh, my story! So- there is this Spanish fleet sailing across the Atlantic and on one of the ships is a Cuban baker (see, cuban bread!) and he has with him this pig, right? So he is holding this old pig (yeah, ham) named Sal (short for what? Salami!) and a little Spanish man comes up behind him and stabs the pig with a fork (get it, Spanish pork roast?!). So the Cuban baker gets really mad and shoots him full of holes (like...what? like....what? A cheese that has holes, what would that be? Swiss!)."

"See, and then I remembered everything when I was at the store because I had this story I could think of to help me remember! Like a memory tool!"

Pause

Mom: "So, uh, what happened to the baker?"


I tell you, I am still laughing, two days later and still funny.
