I was washing potatoes for dinner tonight. I pulled six out of the bag....because there are six people in our family.... then I remembered that I only needed 5.
It's weird when things like this happen, because I'm not thinking it through when I add up how many potatoes to grab. I just do it, and THEN I remember. I am so aware of that sixth person and there are times, like tonight, when I have to remember that only 5 are here. I must subconsciously be counting instead of consciously doing it?
I never thought things like this would happen to me. It's not like I have fed him a baked potato before. It's not like I would even be feeding him a baked potato now. It doesn't happen all the time, but it does happen. I feel like I have forgotten someone when we leave the house. I feel like I have to go and check on someone inside when me and all the kids are outside.... it feels like someone is missing. Well, that makes sense, because someone is missing.
