This is as basic an instinct as having to go potty once you have asked them a hundred times and they have said no a hundred times.

How is it that kids can remember that they have to take a toy for Share Day, and have the toy ready to go at the front door, but forget to put their shoes, jacket and backpack on, which they have to be reminded to do ten times before they hear the request for the first time?

How is it that the only times kids hear you is when you let a swear word slip?
