Forgetting

Most of us find that our memory was sharper when we were young,  and that we’ve gotten more forgetful as we’ve aged. What do you tend to forget? - where you left your keys - or your car? - when you were to meet a friend - and where? - whether you turned off the oven - or the bathtub? Has your forgetfulness ever had funny,  or serious, or catastrophic repercussions? Think back - if you can - about Forgetting,  and share forward!
