forgetful

This parent had a rough night of sleep, and proceeded to fall into such a mental fog that they forgot what day it was, and literally forget that their kid was at school. The pure panic that they must've endured upon waking up from that deep slumber, and assuming that their kid had been taken must've been the stuff of nightmares. 

Now THAT was a rollercoaster. The forgetful friend really inspired the panic when they shared that they left the mac and cheese at home, in the oven, with a dog there. Fortunately, said oven was left off. So a solid and ridiculous false alarm. 

These people had some serious brain farts when it came to time to assign the word to the thing. Sometimes it's very difficult!
