I can not remember one Mom name at my little one's preschool, not to mention ( and I don't) their KIDS!! I rely on my 3 year old as my spare brain. That is what you do when you're a Mom, at least I think that's what Mom's SHOULD do! With each child, I have lost a little more of my brain, so it is only fair they should step in and substitute for me. I can't remember their names, though, either. So there with you, sister!

I personally just say things like "Hey!..." with the ey of the hey going downhill verbally so it's abundantly clear I haven't a clue of what your name is. I know. I so totally rock. At least your name is Jenny. My mom had to pick the hardest name to pronounce and spell and find on coffee mugs and pencils and little license plates and ornaments. *scarred for life* This is why everyone in the South has a nickname like “Sugar”, “Sweetie” or “Hun”.

Wouldn't that work? Even if you don't know their names, can you tell their genders at least? When, oh, when will humans be friendly enough to lick each others' faces upon greeting?

My trick is to keep a list at my desk and jot down the person's name and a physical feature like, Phyllis (really red hair) then again, I can't see how that would work at the dog park. Unless, the owner, you know, happens to look like their dog :) UGH, am also H to the ORRIBLE at remembering names, which makes my new job, working in a place where I am supposed to know everyone’s name, all the more difficult.
