We joke that it's actually a genetic predisposition. I married the absent-minded professor. He use to put his credit cards into books as bookmarks and then forget which book he'd been reading, and which shelf he put it on. (sigh) Can't tell you how many times I had to replace those cards over the years. Finally I took them all away and put them in a little box on top of the microwave, so he could intentionally take them out when he was going shopping. He's now only allowed to carry the ATM card -- and he's left THAT in the bank often enough that they just call me the next morning to pick it up. (shaking her head) Have I mentioned that he's really very smart and I do adore him? So, my daughter come by this trait honestly. It's just that she used to have a functioning brain ... she used to be able to find her own belongings ... used to remember where she put things. Now I'm the only one in the house who has a clue ... we're doomed. LOL best -- Jill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 Well, my oldest's brain came back on or got reconnected at about 22, the 19 year old isn't there yet. Maggie is much more sensible than the other two were in general but she would forget her head if it weren't attached. Her rejoinder whenever she forgets something major is " I've never lost my hearing aids or my FM or my cell phone " . It's true, but they are also " attached " literally! In fact, that was her award for the swim team banquet last year " most likely to forget something " , the year before it was " Meggie the Talker " - so now you know why I think people should celebrate deaf/HOH kids when they " talk " alot!
