I am rubbish!

This is why I should NOT speak to children.

Below is a conversation between my friend's daughter and myself on MSN. My friend has just told me one of her cats died over the weekend:


Friend's Daughter says:
hello
Kirsty says:
hello again! sorry to hear about Garp...how is your other cat?
Friend's Daughter says:
she died last year while steven was away
Kirsty says:
omg sorry i thot it was your gran's dog when he was away last time. are you ok?

Am I thick or do I just have a rilly rilly short memory.....you decide!!

[Note to self: when discussing the death of a loved one, be it man or cat, do not bring up other deaths whilst they are still grieving over the current death!!!]
