At 3:45 in the afternoon with the last load of laundry folded, I’m reminding my home schooled first grader that we still pay taxes and I have no compunction about loading him on the public school bus if he doesn’t buckle down and finish his math.

My ranting is disrupted by the ringing phone.  Annoyed, I check the caller ID to decide if it’s worth answering.  The display panel indicates the call is from a neighbor; did I ever talk to my husband about that external hard-drive she wanted to buy?   Shoot.  I decide to fess-up and make my apologies.  Alex, my reluctant student, is thankful for the diversion and uses this reprieve to goad his younger brother.

Growing up, my number one fantasy was to be a singer.  Even now, I will belt out a few bars of “Leaving on a Jet Plane” or “City of New Orleans” accompanied by a maladroit attempt at the guitar.  The performance is strictly for immediate family, though, and is usually aborted by one of the kids blocking his ears with his palms and yelling “BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH!”

It’s called Paramnesia and, according to dictionary.com, it’s a distortion of memory where fantasy and objective experience are confused.  You may have experienced it as Déjà vu, meaning “already seen.”  It's that eerie feeling that something you are going through has happened in the past.  The sensation is usually fleeting, and you can’t quite put your finger on the details, but it can be a bit disconcerting.
