Are parents just forgetful or are they just like us, ignoring people?

It is true, they have lived quite a long time, and I worry about their health and well-being, especially since you will never know when they will suddenly forget their name, or forget they are driving when they are on the freeway. Maybe parents just have lots of things on their mind, and they don't have enough storage to keep it in their heads.

The other POV is maybe they just act like us, and decide to ignore us because either we are bothering them or they just don't want to talk to us. ...No clue why, maybe... I mean, parents are human beings as well, they might just be like average teenagers.

Well, my point is proven. I asked my mom if she was ignoring me, or she just didn't hear what I said, and she said, "Uhhhhhh..." A minute after my dad came in, she asked, "Is that dad upstairs?" I would certainly hope so. It is just the three of us living here, unless my cat stomps around in shoes. Yes! One thing analyzed and proven, and only a billion to go!
