My Son

8:00 pm on a Sunday, getting ready for bed.  I mention that Monday is March 14... Pi day. 

Colby: "OH YEAH!!  That's right!  Pi day!  I told my teacher I'd bring a pie to school tomorrow to celebrate Pi day!" 

Seriously?? NOW you remember?  As we're getting ready for bed???

Colby: "Mom, you know I have a selective memory."

OH how I know you have a selective memory, Colbyman.  He can recall the name and superpower of any mythological character.  But thinking ahead for school???? Nada.

So both boys stayed up late, and baked a last-minute pumpkin pie, well beyond bedtime.  Which, of course they LOVED, and wasn't nearly the "natural consequence" I was hoping it would be. 

Oh well.  At least he didn't remember on Monday morning in the car on the way to school!
