“Ah yes, that. Let’s think, what am I looking for again? It’s blue isn’t it?”
“No this one’s red, don’t you remember anything?”

“I can’t see it anywhere.”
“Do you need these steps? You might need to get up and look behind the other things?”

As for relaying information about someone we know to my husband, it's just as well he knows who I mean by a description because names are hard to remember. Oh well...!
mind. Fortunately, most of them are in the same boat and so are very forgiving. Makes for some really weird chats sometimes tho' ...
