The professor had forgotten where he had left his children.
教授趣事
理查德·艾倫非常健忘，以至於有時候他會忘記自己在說什麼，因此他的妻子不得不經常提醒他去赴約，去上課—甚至去吃飯。可是作爲一名知名大學的教授，艾倫的健忘症卻經常讓他很難堪。但這並不像一些吹毛求疵的人說的那樣是因爲他並不聰明，他只不過非常、非常健忘。
在一個炎熱的夏日，艾倫教授打算帶上他的孩子們到海灘去。去海邊小鎮大約得坐三個小時的火車。爲了讓這次旅行更有趣，他一直沒告訴孩子小鎮的名字。不幸得很，當艾倫到達火車站的時候，這個可憐的健忘的人把目的地忘得一乾二淨了。不過幸虧他的一個朋友恰好在火車站，於是他幫助艾倫照顧孩子們，而艾倫則回家問問他到底要去哪兒。
教授的妻子見他這麼快就回來了，感到非常吃驚，但當她知道事情始末的時候卻被逗樂了。她信不過丈夫的記憶力，於是就把小鎮的名字寫在一張紙上。當解決完問題之後，她滿意地目送丈夫又一次離去。但是十分鐘之後他又回到了門外，她大吃一驚。現在又怎麼了?原來是教授忘了他把孩引門留在哪兒了。
