Short term memory loss

Yesterday morning my mother asked me to get her some tights from Marks and Spencer and gave me the money.

Yesterday evening I duly returned with tights and shampoo (which she had also requested earlier)

I hand them over and as expected she says "How much do I owe you?"

"nothing" I say, "you gave me enough this morning to buy both items". (Actually my mistake was not to say "yes but because I bought shampoo too, you still owe me X".)

5 minutes later she aks if she has paid me for the tights. "yes" I say.

Again half an hour later

And again

And again

And again as she was going to bed.

But not again was I was leaving for work this morning.

Maybe she needs to sleep on it.
