I'm not sure, really -- while I believe it can happen from time to time, this is not one of those "forgetful" cases -- and apparently this "forgetfulness" is not reserved for children only -- just like the lady that left her elderly mother in a car to bake last week (link, anyone? Have mercy, I am simply NO good at going back to find where I saw it; should probably start a spreadsheet)... :thinking:
In the town where I live, there is an elderly gentleman who is literally dropped off at a street corner every day. He's in a wheelchair and holds up a sign that might seem political but makes no real sense; when you stop to talk, he states that he can't talk; he refuses offers for water, etc -- IMO, that could be an alternative to unaffordable adult day care during the "nicer" months, such as spring & fall -- not during below freezing or triple digits... methinks his senior "career" as a silent political protestor might be someone else's idea.... :maddening: but I digress...
If you really want to know the answer to this question, holler at popsicle -- there was some concern expressed this morning that popsicle might be "forgotten" in the car while DD ran inside the Apple store, iirc... :dunno:
