How can you forget?

Today, my 10-year-old said she wanted to ride her bike to school as we were getting in the car (two minutes before school was to start). The ride takes her about five to seven minutes depending on whether or not the cars stop on the busy street to let her cross. I told her that wouldn't work today, but she could plan for it tomorrow. The following conversation ensued:

Lucy: That is too long!

Me: What is too long?

Lucy: Tomorrow!

Me: What do you mean it's too long?

Lucy: I can't remember that by tomorrow?

Me: You're saying tomorrow is too far away to remember you want to ride your bike?

Lucy: Uh-huh.
