Scarlett took a shower while I cooked dinner.  

She sat at the table, hair washed and uncombed, and informed me "Oh by the way! Our chorus concert is tonight!"

"What?"

"Mom, I gave you the blue paper to sign the other day!"

"Um. No, you didn't."

"I didn't?"

"So what time is the concert?"

"Seven."

I look at the clock, it's 6:55. 

"Oh well."

"But it's a hundred points! My final grade!"

"That's too bad. Isn't it?"

No wonder her grades are so poor. Hell NO you're not rushing around like that. What did she think was going to happen? I would honestly ask her that question.

She didn't think, that's the whole point with her. She manages to put everything out of her mind except her latest book, or crush. Or her latest video game. She was relying on me to remember something that she hadn't actually told me.
