My wife is the same, despite the fact that she is highly intelligent, highly educated, a medical scientist with letters after her name. She STILL loses everything, gets lost easily and acts like a dumb blonde most of the time.
In fact, just to prove it, as I typed the last paragraph, the phone rang. She's in County hall renewing her driver's licence which she let lapse and can't remember her social security number which she needs to renew it.

Naturally of course. I'm supposed to know everything.
Still, wouldn't trade her in for anything, well maybe a Learjet.............
If I was you Wolfie, I would have fun with this. If you could get a couple of friends pretending to be Homeland Security to stop her, preferably while she's in uniform and ask for id. With no military id, a foreign accent and no green card. She would obviously be an Al Qaeda agent:noid on her way to attack something. I know it's cruel and your life would never be worth living again but it would be fun:p
