Thoughts on Temporary Amnesia


At least a dozen times a day, my short friends raise their hands with anxious excitement and when I call on them, the response is something along the lines of, "Ummmmm. Ummmmmm. Oh. Uhhhhhh. I forget. It slipped. I was going to say something but now it's hiding. It popped out of my head." 

These mild moments of memory loss are highly entertaining, especially when the answer is literally at the tip of their tongues. My favorite one today went as such: 

Ashley
Did you know that carrots and oranges and 'umpkins are all the same color? 

Me
That's right! And what color are they all?

Ashley
Ummmmm. Ummmmmm...

Me
I'll give you a clue. You just said it...

Ashley
Said what?!

{insert me trying not to laugh here}
