Both Sons instantly said, 'You're not stupid!'
'You mustn't say that ... you're forgetful not stupid.'
'And,' Younger Son added, 'they say forgetfulness is a sign of intelligence.'
Elder Son looked at him doubtfully but didn't say anything.
I love my children.
P.S. Younger Son directed me to this link as proof. According to new research forgetting is a key part of learning. "It’s important that the brain forgets irrelevant details and instead focuses on the stuff that's going to help make decisions in the real world."
It puts me in the same grouping as Einstein.
P.P.S. But I don't know why this post is highlighted in white. But Einstein probably wouldn't know either.

What a relief this is! I am going to have to share this tidbit of information with my children the next time I forget something and they start talking about "homes" for me:)
Absolutely, Rose! In fact I should get in first and remind them every time you see them!
You've possibly hit the quote button that does that to the text
