Object permanence means knowing that an object still exists, even if it is hidden. It requires the ability to form a mental representation (i.e. a schema) of the object. For example, if you place a toy under a blanket, the child who has achieved object permanence knows it is there and can actively seek it.

I still like to pretend that when I can’t see something it’s gone forever, like utility bills or people I hate.

“Out of sight, Out of mind”

You are not alone, 3-D-D :D

Now with OP, out of sight, not out of mind.

Don’t worry kid, it will take on a new luster in 12 or 13 years!

It’s all downhill here from here, kid.
