Mom "Take care of my plants OK?"
Sleepy Joe grunted "yeah..." zzzzzzzzz
Joe forgot all about the plants and the day mom was returning back, he realized that he had forgotten to water the plants.
He ran out to the balcony and say dried and decaying lifeless plants.
This was major crisis, his mom will kill him for killing her roses.
He didn't know what to do. His mom came home that evening. Before even she could ask him anything. He started to cry out of embarrassment.
Mom sighed "High time that I invested on some self watering pots"
that's a mom :)

As I remeember my earlier days I usually remembered on the last day and overwatered them to compensate...it didn't help!
