I'm with Mr Michelle.
You do know that if you had driven the closest parking spot would have been in another suburb.

Oh, my sweet Michelle, that's worse than spending fifteen minutes searching for the glasses that are on top of my head.

I generally tend to remember that I have a car, however, just the other day, I spent a good deal of time rushing around looking for my keys. I tend to lose my keys often (on a daily basis, in fact, sometimes more than once per day). I was becoming more and more disgruntled looking for my keys, getting ready to ground whichever child had moved them. Finally, my teenager asked..what are you looking for Mom? And I said, it a tone that clearly said I was furious, "MY KEYS". She stared at me. Really stared. As if perhaps her mother had gone crazy and she was wondering which official to summon. "Your hand," she whispered, afraid. "Your keys are in your hand."

"Right. Okay then. Who wants to go to the mall?"

I lose things frequently. However, I can't say that I have ever forgot I had a car. But i could understand why you did, since it is such a recent addition to your household. My step MIL did the same thiing. She rode the bus for years and then finally purchased a van. She stopped at the grocery store one day and picked up a bunch of stuff, and thought, "Oh great--now I have to try and get this all on the bus with me" and put some stuff back and got the bags all evened out so they would be easier to carry. Headed out to the bus stop and about half way there she saw her van and realization hit... So yeah, it does happen.

That is one of the funniest things I've ever heard, Michelle! And I totally sympathize. I forget things all the time. Especially when you suddenly have something that you haven't had before. I mean, you get used to doing things a certain way because you *don't* have something and the brain can't be expected to just suddenly keep remembering that you now have it!

I forget things all the time, I probably forget my purse about once a week! However, I've also managed to forget my luggage. Twice. Once at the airport, and once at a bus station. The airport wasn't so bad, but I almost lost everything I had with me at the bus station, as by the time I realized I'd forgotten my luggage (about half an hour later, and only because I saw other people from my bus go by with THEIR luggage), the bus was starting to pull away. Luckily I managed to get the driver to stop, and get my luggage off. I totally sympathize.
