B: That’s good. But don’t forget to invite everyone you should invite.
A: I think I’ve invited everyone. Do you have anybody in mind?
B: Did you invite John? He’s lost his job after recent quarrel with his boss.
A: Oh, my gosh! I forgot to invite him! He’ll be sad, thinking we look down on him. He just slipped my mind.
B: Well, everyone forgets something sometimes. Don’t worry. It’s not too late. Make a phone call right away.
A: Did I forget anybody else that I should incite?
B: There’s yet another person you should invite—Julia. She’s just moved to the city and feels lonely.
A: Oh, good heavens, I forgot all about her. She’s our new friend. You see, I’m getting forgetful. I think I’m getting old!
B: Looks like you are, buddy. You’d better start writing things down if they’re important.
