The Katie Chronicles, Like Mother, Like Daughter Edition

I have never had a great memory.  Some things I can remember well, but others....well, if I ever forget your name, don't take it personally.  I'll remember the important stuff, like when you told me about how your real dream is to be a Broadway singer, or how you never got over your first love, or that you adore candy corn (for some reason).   Apparently this runs in the family.  I was reading to Katie the other night -- yes, we still read to her, even though she's been able to read on her own for years.  We all enjoy it so why stop, especially now that she's reading Harry Potter?  -- and a character in the book we were reading was described as having a photographic memory.  Katie got excited and said, "Ms. T has that!" (Ms. T is her teacher, who she justifiably adores).  "Wow, that's really cool!  What a useful skill to have!" I said.  She said, "I know!" After a thoughtful pause, she said, "I have more of a Dory memory.  That's OK, though. Who doesn't like Dory?"  Yes, baby girl, let's hope absent-mindedness is part of our charm.  I'm sorry...what were we talking about again?
