David Cameron may have one million things to think about, busy as he is being the British Prime Minister. Keeping track of his kids shouldn’t be too far down on his list, but sometimes it gets overlooked.

Cameron arrived to the prime minister’s country home known as Chequers in Buckinghamshire, England, from a lunch with friends at a local pub only to realize his eight-year-old daughter, Nancy, had been left behind. A British PMO spokesperson confirmed the case saying Cameron quickly called the pub and returned to pick her up after she had been left there for about 15 minutes. Nancy stayed behind, according to The Sun, because Cameron left the pub in one car with his bodyguards and his wife, Samantha, left in a different car with the couple’s other children, both thinking Nancy was in the other car.

“It’s not like you can look up David Cameron in the phone book and then ring to say, ‘You’ve left your daughter behind,’ said a staff at the nearby Plough Inn quoted in The Sun.
