I know exactly what you mean. My mom always used to yell at me because I wouldn't be doing my chores that she just asked me to do 10 minutes earlier. Like she would ask me to clean the bathroom upstairs and I would get up to do it but when I got to the bathroom I was supposed to clean I had already forgotten why I was there. I would then start to brush my teeth, thinking that that is what I had gone there to do. After brushing my teeth, I felt that I had accomplished what I set out to do
, so I would go back downstairs and sit down to watch the Simpsons. A half hour later she would notice that I hadn't cleaned the bathroom yet and start yelling at me and I'd say something along the lines of, "Dammit, thats what I got up to do. I'm sorry, I forgot.
" She, having a perfectly good memory herself, would find it impossible to believe that I could forget something so simple, and assumed I was just too lazy to do it. I think that was the source of most of my disagreements with my mom.
