The Bookish Girl

Oy, my aching Brain

The Scene:  My living room, I call my college roommate to wish her a happy belated birthday.

Me:  Hi Allie, Happy Belated Birthday, I’m so sorry I didn’t call yesterday.  I completely forgot.

Allie:  You called.

M:  I did?

A:  Yah, you left a message.

M:  When?

A:  Yesterday morning.

M:  Are you sure?
A:  Yes!

M:  No way.  I have zero memory of doing that.

A:  Welcome to motherhood.
