The joke is on you.

Katie's mother, Polly, was getting exasperated coaching
her repeatedly on some of her school subjects.
"Why are you so forgetful? Your memory seems to be
weak, this is very bad!" she said.
Katie replied softly, "But grandma told me many times
that a weak memory is good."
"Is that so?", said Polly, "I am your mother, and
I am telling you that weak memory is bad!"

However, later, Polly went to see her mother, saying,
"What is this that you have been telling Katie about
a weak memory being good?"
"Oh, it's like this," grandma replied.
"You know that I have been very bored watching some
of the same old video movies. Well, since the time my
memory became weak, I have been enjoying every re-run
as if they were new movies. Isn't that wonderful?"

"So, that's how it came about." Polly murmured.

After that, Polly spoke to Katie, "I think you should see
grandma and find out why she said that weak is good."

So, Katie asked Gracie, "Grandma, why do you say a
weak memory is good?" Gracie, realising the problem,
said, "Oh oh, I was saying that in jest. You see, in a way
I do enjoy watching the same movies again because
I can't remember much of what I had viewed before,
but then I also cannot narrate the story to anybody.
A weak memory is, urgh, partly good in some way only."

Katie went back to Polly, "Mother, grandma was only
joking about a weak memory being good."

Polly remarked, "Yes, a good joke, on you."

Have a good day.
