It's embarrassing to need to have a list for needing to get ONE OR TWO f*cking items at a store. ONE OR TWO!!! Like DAMN!
I do this. I also have my 10 yr old repeat the next street while I'm driving to someplace new over and over until I turn. "Turn right on Oak street after 2 miles. Turn right on Oak street after 2 miles. Turn right on Oak street after 2 miles" ---- for the entire 2 miles. Then I turn, and I say, OK, I just turned right on oak street, what's next? And she repeats the next step over and over and over. Because if she just says it a few times, I forget and have to ask her to repeat it again. And if I don't keep asking, I'll miss the turn.
In other words - this is not just you.
