What’s up?

Maybe I’m getting old.

But I’ll just be 41 in a week…that’s far from old.

Maybe it’s the kid who’s really smart.

First it was a song, it came on for the first time ever on the car stereo, I had hooked up my Spotify and it was feeding me randomly based on my taste…

Next thing I hear…my son SonTer asking “Mommy is this his original song or is it a cover?”

My first question was “who is ‘he’?”

I had no clue who he was talking about.

Turned out it was my dear Lewis Capaldi singing ‘Haven’t you ever been in Love before?’…he knew his voice… I didn’t.

I’ve had a few other situations where I’ve questioned myself about forgetting… A file at work… A previous arrangement with a friend, a conversation I had…

And then today, sixteen minutes into ‘Happiness for beginners’ and my son goes “Mommy she was in some episodes of ‘The Office'”.

I’m second guessing because I can’t remember. We do the wiki and there she is…Erin from The Office.

Should I be freaking out? Is this normal?

I remember my niece once suggested games… I’m on candy crush, cross word and words with friends…

Any other suggestions?

  2. This happens a lot with me and honestly sometimes I’m really confused and scared especially since naturally I’m forgetful and it’s gotten worse recently. These kids are really smart though or is that an excuse 🤭🤭

  3. It’s all normal really. The average 40 year has a lot on their mind so it’s easy for some of it to get lost in the sea 😀
    The kid on the other hand, has those things, everything he sees, hears, right in front of him. He doesn’t have stuff getting to the back yet, I think. No distractions 😀

  4. Children have better memories than we do, but yours is clearly up on whatever is broadcast. Today I am 41 years older than you – next week it will be only 40. Can he work that out? 🙂

  5. I wouldn’t worry: I’ve had episodes of forgetfulness since I retired: they come and go: none are serious, some are quite hilarious in the telling. I’m a Lewis Capaldi fan too 🙂
