I would really like to know why such bright kids can do origami and not fold a shirt? Memorize lots of information but need a list of what to do in the morning, after two years of using the list? Put together 100 piece puzzle but not find see the socks they left on the coffee table?
Do we just accept they are kids and that's what a kids does?
I would not count on them growing out of it. I'm bad like that too and my dad is the worst. He is a very typical absent-minded professor type, can never find his socks and they are always right in front of him
I think of it more that person can shut the world outside if they think of something that has more meaning for them. I see it as part of the character, it probably helps them to concentrate better to finish the puzzle. DD is a girly girl and loves clothes and shoes, I'm sure she will always be able to find correct pair (will probably decide her self which one it is) as she concentrates on finding them as hard as fixing a puzzle. My father on the other hand could not care less about his shoes or socks.
