(63,086 posts)You remember bright lights and lots of commotion and maybe a bunch of people fussing over you.
You don't actually remember the day of your birth. I believe that you think that you do, but you don't. You have constructed that memory from readily available stock images, and you've invested your self-image in the "reality" of that memory.
I don't care if you don't believe me. It's "such a big thing" to me because I have no respect for nonsense. Why is it "such a big thing" for you?
And why would I take issue with your grandfather? The last living child of a slave died just a few years ago, so I can readily believe that some families' generations span 150 years. It's well within mathematical possibility.
Unlike your claim that you remember the date of your birth.
