Honesty

The Princess has been increasingly 'forgetful' of late. Forgotten blue folder at school, forgotten notes, forgotten sharing books, forgotten home reading....you get the idea. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that she's being forgetful when getting ready to go home at the end of her school day.

Which is really good because I'm not a rocket scientist.

So a little talk was in order. Several little talks, actually, culminating into a big talk in which I looked like a raving lunatic and she just stood there looking at me like I was a raving lunatic.

But it's all good because we figured out the problem.

Raving Lunatic: "There must be a reason you keep forgetting things when you're getting ready to go home!"

Princess: "Well, I have so much to do! I have to change my shoes! And get my coat! And I have to talk to all my friends!"

At least she's honest.

And it explains the raving lunatic part.
