I'm not a parent, but come on..

Category Parents forget child

Yes I'm not a parent. But I think I wouldn't forget a child if I had one or more. Parents forget child at airport.

I can't help but feel I've forgotten something. Honey did you remember to turn off the iron? Did you leave a note for the milk man? Did you cancel the paper? hhm, what was it. Oh well it can't be that important.

How can you possibly forget a three year old girl?

1 - They were on their way to Paris with their other [insert positive integer] children. The youngest was left behind in the rush.

Have you never seen Home Alone?

This was clearly just a re-enactment.

2 - I'm not a parent either, but I'm thinking that with 5 kids, it may have been a case of wishful thinking...

3 - Recently, in Sao Paulo, Brazil, there were two incidents of parents foregeting their kids in the car, while going to their jobs or gym. The kids died. Those were terrible news.
At least, in this case, the kid was sent to their parents. Sure they got astouded when they notice they've forgotten the girl (ok, their surprise shouldn't be used as an excuse, though).

4 - I have to think once you have more children than parents, it would be easy to loose count of them all. She was 1 of 5.

Look on the positive side. They remembered 4 of the kids!

5 - We tried hard to forget one of our four on occasions. Emoticon

How could you go through the gate to board the plane without one of your kids. As soon as you boarded you would know. One of your other kids would have noticed - wouldn't they? Emoticon

6 - I have 2 kids (2 & 5) and I can't imagine having 5 kids, but I guess the trick is get the older kids to keep track of the younger kids? Looks like that idea kinda broke down.

7 - @5 Yes I remember Emoticon

@6 To be honest, this would have been a dream come true. The idea of one of my brothers or sisters being left behind was a fantasy every brother or sister has had at some point I think.

8 - I know what happened.
A mean looking Arab guy was in the airport. The family looked at him, got scared and ran to the airplane. The little one didn't make it.
