you were a kid, it's easy to invalidate your memories

sisters are just as guilty as parents (you'd know to be skeptical if it was a parent), my sister assured me that my mom never went hiking with us as kids, yeah, whatever, like my mom suddenly becomes a day hiking fiend in her 70s catch a clue!

just because your sister "reminds" you of something, it doesn't mean HER memory is right, maybe yours is the more accurate version

also i just read ron obvious's post and what he said...totally true...if you ever get a hobby dealing w. memory you will soon learn HOW true

oh one more thing, if it was a metaphysical event, just because she said "yes" she saw it...doesn't mean she EVER witnessed what you saw (can you tell i went thru a UFO chasing phase)
