Tom Smith is the best hitter on his company's baseball team.
For weeks during the playing season, Tom hit a home run in every game the team played.
But then suddenly he stopped hitting home runs. He could not hit the baseball at all.
One day he struck out three times in one game. He said, "I am afraid I am losing it."
Mary Jones bought a dress in a woman's clothing store. She felt very happy about buying the dress until she got home.
Then she remembered she had left her credit card at the store when she used it to pay for the dress.
It was the third time that month that Mary had forgotten something important.
Mary was angry with herself. She said, "Am I losing it?"
