While we were driving the other day, the radio station played an ad for an upcoming Steven Curtis Chapman - Michael W. Smith concert.  My 11 yo Muffin said in a incredulous tone, "I didn't know Michael W. Smith was still alive!"  Ummm, yes.  "If he was a grown-up when you were a kid, how could he still be alive?" 

You know, letting alone the fact that Michael W. Smith is far from an old man, has the child forgotten she has grandparents? Good grief.  Don't worry, Smitty.  We know you've still got it goin' on.

Then the next day I was deep in rapid supper preparations.  Snickerdoodle was keeping me company in the kitchen.  I was working on getting a main dish in the oven and a frozen veggie in the microwave, and I was trying to make time.  When I had readied the veggie to be put in, I found myself asking (aloud) "Did I put that thing in the oven? Oh, yes I did.  Wait, did I get the beans in the microwave?  (Open and check) Okay, there they are, ready to go."

At this point, wide-eyed boy said, "Boy Mom, you sure are a quick forgetter." 

I guess it's time to book a spot in the home....
