Or those scenes got printed in my head, because my parents told me about them many times over the years? Have you thought about this?
I have thought about this often. My father recently passed away. I have many stories I tell my kids about growing up. As I discussed a few of those stories with my siblings, I realized I was probably passing along stories I have heard and not actual memories of my own. On a different note, I also realized many of my stories were not true lol either I remembered them wrong being young at the time or misunderstood stories and retold them differently (different being wrong 🙄) Of course there are also stories I have knowingly and intentionally embellished over the years to make them better or to drive home a point haha
