My kid asked why I always write the grocery list on my phone then forget my phone at home.

I told him it's called "strategic memory enhancement."

Punchline

I forget the phone so I can remember what it feels like to wander the aisles with purpose and leave with regret. Plus, impulse buys taste better when they're unplanned.

We got three kinds of crackers and no milk. Again.
