I wish my brain was better at retaining short term memories. I can remember events from early 2000 when I was less than six years old but I can't remember what I ate yesterday night. Most times when I'm at home, i forget things as soon as they happen. Most of the time my dad can send me to get him a cup of water and I'll get to the fridge and start asking myself "what am I doing here?" Then I'll just turn around and leave. Or I might pick a cup up and think I took it to wash it and put it in the sink. It's really annoying because it makes me seem reckless most times. I might keep car keys somewhere, let's say in my drawer and forget, then start looking for them. Once my dad said he hopes I don't sleep one day and forget to wake up. I laughed but deep down it scared me.
