This morning, while on our way to my school, my mom and I were talking about how she was supposed to give a co-worker a ride home from work (downtown Seattle) but forgot all about her until my mom arrived home to a phone call from the stranded co-worker.

So then my mom was saying how annoying people were being when she would tell them the story:

"People kept gasping. It's not like I killed a baby!"

I doubt people's reaction for forgetting a co-worker downtown would be equal to that of people who just heard you killed a baby. But it makes for a good story.
