I feel today is best summed up by this interaction...

Me: Jake? Will you please run downstairs and restart the dryer for thirty minutes please?

Jake: Oh sure!

Five minutes later...

Jake: Mom? I had a distracting thought enter my head. What did you ask me to do again?

Me: sigh...


I have to admit that this is an improvement over our normal pattern of behavior. Usually he would have the distracting thought, not realize it, and I would go down a half an hour later to switch the laundry only to find still wet clothes in the dryer.  Silly boy.

Oh! I love the things this kid says, ha ha. I think we can all relate to the "distracting thought enter my head" thing.

At least he owned his distracted thought. That's a good sign.
