Yesterday I forgot my youngest daughter's name. She was working on a project and asked me if I'd go get her Dad, so I went into the kitchen where he was fixing some lunch, and said "Rick...(that's HIS name, I remembered that one), ..
"Richard? ... she um... she.... needs a hand."
and I pointed, in the direction of the right girl. But her name would not come to my lips.
I looked over toward Brittany, (I can remember her name by now) and she had one eyebrow raised.
The thing is... Rick wasn't fazed by this AT ALL.
He even knew which daughter I meant.
Fixed his lunch and went into the family room to give her a hand.
Well at least we're telepathic around here. or is that telepathetic. heh.
Oh, and speaking of the whole age thing:
~~~Happy Birthday Laurie!!!!!~~
I have a nice photo for you here. this explains why we couldn't get boyfriends in Junior High. *sigh*
:))))
Happy birthday, Laurie. I think you were beautiful girls. looks a bit alcoholic, but still lovely. You both have improved a lot in the advancing years. Just think.. in a decade or so you will be grandmothers.

I actually got out of trouble this way.
Mom was SO mad at me, she ran down the list trying to get my name - each time more mad & frustrated - (I was the last of 4)
(names removed to protect the "innocent"
"1st boys name!!"
"2nd boys name!!!"
"3rd boys name!!!!"
(heres the kicker)
"JOSH!!!!!!" (Josh was the DOG)
After "Josh" I started laughing - and pretending to be offended, SHE started laughing .... I escaped unscathed, and I still remind her of it when I'm in trouble.

hahahhah!!! your poor mom!
I get Buddy's name mixed up with Brittany's name ALL the time! and vice versa.

Six kids here ... my parents would go through the list, go past my name, and have to back up ...
So I don't think it's an age thing ... which, of course, won't stop me from teasing you about your age ...
