"There was a minute back then when I was actually afraid you might forget what I look like."

"I know it sounds silly. But that was just before I told my boss I was going part-time." (48.18-48.20)
Mrs. Coogan says all of this to Crash after they find Scooter looking at the portrait she did of him years ago—when she was a kid and he was on one of his frequent sea voyages. She didn't see much of her dad when she was a kid, and she was afraid she'd forget what he looked like, so she painted a picture of him. With that in mind, do you think Mrs. Coogan's fear that her kids might forget what she looks like sounds silly? Why or why not?
