There is a running joke in our family about me and restaurant leftovers. I get them packed to go. Then we make a joke that I'll probably forget them. And then I forget them. Sometimes not 10 minutes later, with them sitting on the table in a bag! It happens all the time.

So how could I scold my DS7 for being "irresponsible" when he forgets something. I can hopefully teach him to stop and check for the priority things. But honestly, it drives me batty that people pile guilt upon the trait of forgetfulness. It's like nuns whacking children for writing left-handed.
