Lol I'm good with faces, but bad with names. There is a woman who lives where we do and I knew her from years ago at work. She still remembered me by name, but I only remembered her face..
True story. I once belonged to a swim club when my daughter was very young. I made friends with another mother who had her son in the same preschool my daughter attended. We often "met up" in the pool, chatting madly about our children. This went on all summer. After enough chatting, you realize it gets too embarrassing to simply ask someone their name, so I just kept hoping I would learn it some other way. One day I thought I heard someone call out to her, so I decided that was her name. When I repeated it back to her, she just looked at me and laughed. I had it wrong. So after a whole summer, we finally formally introduced ourselves.
