HOW FORGETFUL AM I
Summary:
You left the house this morning in a rush. Everything felt hurried—shoes on, bag over your shoulder, keys in hand. Halfway down the street, you started wondering if you had forgotten something. Did you lock the front door? Did you grab your homework? Did you leave the stove on after breakfast? The questions kept piling up in your head. You patted your pockets, realizing your phone charger wasn’t with you. A quick check in your bag confirmed it—you had left it plugged into the wall. You sighed, frustrated, knowing this happens more often than you’d like. People often laugh and tell you that you’re forgetful, and maybe they’re right. Sometimes it feels like no matter how hard you try, you always leave at least one thing behind. Today it’s the charger, but yesterday it was your notebook, and last week it was your umbrella on a rainy day. Standing on the corner, waiting for the bus, you shake your head and decide to text someone about your forgetful morning.
Your Text:
“I can’t believe it—I left my charger at home again. I don’t know how I keep forgetting things all the time.”

“Don’t worry too much, it happens to everyone. Maybe you just need a little checklist before leaving the house. Do you want me to bring the charger to you, or can you get by without it today?”
