Just a queston

Can anyone tell me how a 12-year-old boy can go on a field trip with a couple dozen other students, walk out of a building in 14 degree weather, climb aboard the bus, and not notice until he gets back to the school that he left his coat behind? Just how does that happen?

You know.......

You know your seven year old has spent too much time with his "Nanny" when within a period ten minutes he:

announces "My throat is parched!"

proclaims "Mom, I want you to cook Amish!"

and proudly states "I'm watching what I eat now."
