I was a little upset with myself,
because I forgot my phone.
No problemo, Mom gets watch
out, and proclaims it's 3:15.

I, am appalled, as i forgot she...
had a watch. As my analytical
mind, of perfect function, reconciled
the fact that, I was sure she would
look for her cell phone, (which I had comfiscated),
to see the time.

But, she brings out her watch instead.
I am horrified at my incompetence.
Ok, dummy, you should know by now,
she brings watch to the fore.

I look at watch, (thinking, you dumb ass,)
you forgot to change the time. It just had changed
to CDST a couple a days ago. But no problem,
It read 2:45 even as it registered sub-luminally as
9:15.

So, conundrum.
What should watch read if it was 3:15 PM CDST?
Did I recognize my fault?
I assumed 2:15 PM CDST.
Which was moving the time one hour in the wrong
direction. But seemed right to me in the nano-second
analysis?

Or, 3:15 PM, mom had miraculously, moved/changed
watch time incorrectly, but perfectly to a position
of mis-readable/recognized proportion?

Yes, it was 9:15, naturally.

So, at this point, what has happened?
1. I forgot the time change.
1. a. I remembered time change,
but forgot to change my mother's watch?
1.c. I remembered time change,
but forgot which way. forward/backward
1.d. I misread mom's watch.

What is the most likely scenario?
Which may not be the answer, nor most likely.
Or, is it? Given: Dementia. Time change.
Recognition of such. Correct recognition,
and application of such. Correct reading/interpretation
of watch time. Correct assimilation of facts/probabilities/
and implementations.

The answers lay within the
author notes.
