Throwback Thursday I am reposting the post the post that followed last weeks Spare Room.
Following on from my post yesterday – I was overcome with curiosity about what had my parents done that first night we were in our new house. Today I asked my 85-year-old mother.
“No. I think you’ve got it wrong Irene. I can’t remember going out and buying beds for you.”
“We did. Remember we both got beds with the bookcase in the bed-head and I had the pink mattress and my brother the blue one.”
“I remember the beds but we got them much later. You’re memory isn’t right.”
That was the conversation before we went and had lunch. Several hours later, when walking the dog, I received a phone call.
“You were right Irene. I’ve looked up the account book. We did buy beds. They cost 36 pounds and I found that we sold furniture on the ‘in’ side before leaving Tamworth. We got 72 pounds for it.”

Interesting how our memories differ.

It demonstrates that we all see events differently and view some as not even worth remembering.
