Just before 8 A.M. (when my first class meets), my young daughter did something that annoyed me as I was about to leave home for the short drive to campus. "Katie," I said, "what do I always say at a time like this?" She looked at the clock, and then said to me, "What you say is, 'Where are my keys?'" My daughter was apparently familiar with my:
A) visual memory deficit.
B) jamais vu tendencies.
C) nondisordered dissociative fugue.
D) absentmindedness.
