Aah, memories...

This exchanged happened between a friend and me recently.

He came to me and says, ‘did you hear…’ I can’t remember exacty (see, already) what he said but it was about music so say John Lennon and George Harrison were alive and The Beatles were regrouping (my site, I get to pick the band).

I go ‘no way.’ He says ‘we’ll just have to wait and see if there’s anymore news.'

A week later, I run into him and have TOTALLY FOGOTTEN he’s the one who told me about The Beatles..... He’s also TOTALLY FORGOTTEN he’s the one who told me.

So, I go, The Beatles are regrouping and he goes: You know, I heard that too.

So, now we officially have a rumor. It’s been confirmed from two different sources so now there’s at least a possibility.

So we spend time, searching on the internet, listening to the radio. About a week later, we run into each other, our brains functioning again and at the same time go:

I told you about the Beatles.
You told me about the Beatles.

We felt such relief that we weren’t suffering a memort problem. It’s amazing how expanding the definition of a word can become when you need it to. To declare we don’t have a problem so pushes out the definition, thinning it so much it hardly exists…but we need it so problem does NOT mean creating a rumor due to memory loss.

Anyway, I'll tell you the worst thing about losing your memory...
(Now pretend I wrote it all over again, as if I'd forgotten I'd told you...and then pretend to laugh.)
