Selective Memory

Today’s conversation in the car:
Me: If there is no rain, we’ll be taking family pictures with Mr. Matt on Saturday.
P: Oh, yay! Mr. Matt! If we do a good job smiling, can we have hot cocoa like last time?
B: Who’s Mr. Matt?
P: You know, the GG Bridge? The chairs? Cocoa?
B: OH, you mean, Ms. Beth? Like when I was 5?
P: Oh, so I was 2.
Me: actually, no, I think you were 6 and 3.

Beth took our family photos for the first round, but when I asked Dave this evening to recall the photographer’s name, Dave came up with only the studio’s name. When I mentioned her name, he did recall. But Brandon plucked it out of thin air! He remembers Jesselyn, but sadly, Peyton does not. He remembered that Auntie Jennifer is her mom. It did take Brandon a few moments to recall Jess’ name, but he did get it. Peyton just responded, “Who’s Jesselyn?” Looks like they are overdue for a visit 🙂 Or we should go to HK and visit them there…
