When 3-year-old Julia comes home from her first day at preschool, her father asks her, What's your teacher's name? Julia answers by saying, I forget. Yet when Dad drops Julia off at preschool the following morning, the teacher apologizes to both of them: How silly of me Yesterday when you came to school, Julia, I didn't tell you my name.
