"I know my mother's SSN and alien registration number by heart but she also has to ask me for my address ever time she wants to send something..."

It was a lot easier for me to memorize things like phone #s when I was young. I am convinced that's because I had more room in my brain. The older one becomes, the more knowledge one has gathered.

"It's like parents don't seem to take your words for anything and you have to repeat and reassure them over and over about your health, rent and other bureaucratic aspects of life. They ask, "ARE YOU SURE?" and you have to say for the billionth time, "YES!"
"

Parents tend to do this when their kids have lied to them in the past.
