Pardon me, if you can't remember the thingy and only know it is
orange in color, do you expect her to remember for you .. I mean
there are so many things in orange .. .. if you remember, a gentle
reminder may help instead of prompting ... I am not saying you
don't know how to prompt, but there are people who really don't
know how to prompt and often prompt the wrong thing .. back to the
idiot thingy, how does that qualify your mother as idiot ?
