Sometimes thinking ahead isn't at all

It was raining and I had asked for a ride to the train station. As I was putting on my jacket and bag, I noticed my mom putting an English muffin into the toaster. I asked her why she was doing that when we're just about to leave. Here was her answer:

"So that I'll forget that I wanted toast by the time I come back from dropping you off and will discover them later when I get home from school, all dried and hard in the toaster."

Really, it's that she wants to remember that she even wanted toast, but she recognizes that this scenario is much more likely. Probably based on previous experience.
