And again, it's not like a dementia thing.

I know that I've been asked to get something, but I just can't remember what that was.

Yeah, yeah.

My mother, I genuinely think the reason I don't, I didn't realise I had it was because she was on my shoulder the whole time.

Do you know what I mean?

Like, I'm the youngest of three and my sisters would always say I was spoiled.

Do you know what I mean?

But I don't think I was spoiled.

I was probably scaffolded.

Like, my mother was on my, like...

like have you done your homework yeah throw me out your journal there and we'll go through it and make sure that you have and i'll be like 17 years of age going mom nobody goes through their journal but she'd be saying no we'll just have a look to it because i would have gotten in trouble loads of times for not having the homework and she she would know that i'm not a kid who doesn't do homework because of brazenness i would just i would want to bring the homework in and i'd be

dreadfully conscientious if I didn't have it, but I was forgetting it anyway.

And I was coming back, so getting so upset that Mr. Burke gave out to me and I didn't have my homework.

And she was like, well, why did you, I just couldn't remember.

And so she kind of would say, well, we'll go through it and make sure you have it for the next.

These are all things.

And so when I used to play rugby,

the bottom of my kit bag was a piece of yellow paper and it was sellotape to the bottom of the bag.

And it said, gum shield, two socks, shorts, towel, jersey.

And it was like... I love the two socks.
