The complex failure of a mnemonic device.

[snarp]

thegeekgene just called to ask a question. Mom answered it thusly:

Mom: You just have to remember "fall forward, spring back."

Dad, from the other room: No!

Mom: Isn't that right?... "Spring forward, fall back?"

Me: Mom, you can't fall forward.

Mom: I can fall on my face!

Me: I - okay, you can, I guess...
