Remember the duck's back. Shrug, apologize, say it was an accident, that you hope it will recover - i.e. the hidden message is that you didn't forget what she said, it was just an accident! Validate, hear her, then move on.

When do you remember this starting?

Also keep in mind that, jokingly or not, a lot of people say that a W who doesn't nag is more unhappy. That is because someone who isn't willing to argue is so far past caring that it's not even worth saying anything. So, there might actually be a positive in here - that she feels you are finally hearing her.

Keep it up for a while, see what happens!
