Don't Blame Me, Blame My Brain

|
This week, I was running low on gas. After work, I decided to stop at the gas station before I picked up MacBaby from my parent's house. Stopping on the way home would just prolong his screaming in the car.

Instead of driving past my parent's house the one block to go to the gas station, I pulled into their driveway. On my ten minute commute from work, I forgot where I was going.

I went inside and fed MacBaby, then went to fill up the car. As I was pulling out of the gas station, a man waved me down. I forgot to put the cap back on the gas tank and close its door. Not that this was the first time I neglected to put the cap back on, but on this particular occasion, I blame my baby brain.

The woman's brain shrinks three to five percent during pregnancy and supposedly extracts within six months of giving birth. I'm still waiting. . .

I believe- I definitely feel stupider after having a child. I had never seen the actual 3-5% shrinkage figure though... so I guess that makes me feel better that there is actually some science behind it!!
