re: #471 marjoriemoon

What’s really super freaky is my mother and I have completely different versions of the same incidents when I was a kid. Freakishly different. I want to say she’s older and her memory is therefore worse, but I’m not sure that’s true.

Well, I am one of four, my mother has wonderful memories, she just can’t tell which kid is which, and has the wrong child in events that more often than not sorta did happen.

Peoples recollections make for an interesting topic, as we remember so much, but often don’t realize that outside influences that adjust our versions of events.

And knowing the quality of some of the posters here, and reflecting on my last paragraph, you can see why I lurk a lot :)
