I listened to my husband tell the kids a story about me from long ago and he got every last detail wrong.
I looked at him and was like, “see this is why I can never die…you don’t remember anything and they would live the rest of their life thinking that really happened. You just make stuff up!”
I feel bad for giving him a hard time, but he’ll probably forget about it by morning.

Yeah, bummer about that, but you can’t hate a guy who reads to his kid at B&N. I bet he makes up good stuff. ;-)
Kat says
Yes, he does make up for his memory loss by being a good dad in other ways…I haven’t given up on him yet.
Southern Angel says
Yeah see I have to give my husband credit he has an amazing memory for the most part.. unless it happened 5 minutes ago then it is a little shaky.
Laura says
Lol…what would they do without you!?
Mine has a great memory but choose to embellish, most of the time at my expense!
Laura says
*chooses
Kat says
See this is kind of MY role in our relationship. lol
Betsy says
Ha! That’s pretty funny though!!
Kat says
At least I have this blog to serve as my memory keeper for now!
Adrienne says
This is why I scrapbook. Photographic evidence and MY side of all the important stories!!
candidkay says
Well, there’s this and the fact that my kids would never again wear anything that doesn’t clash. :)
Jessica says
LOL… mine doesn’t remember a thing, either. I need to start writing more down in my blog, for sure.
lisleman says
Well this is your side of the story. I wonder what his is.
I really like this post because my wife and I disagree about various stories of the kids or vacations. I suspect we both lose/replace details and this problem is common.
Andrea says
I’m the one who forgets the details. And makes up new and improved ones to make the story better. ::hangs head::
Then again, if I die, my kids will be subject to a lot of boring memories.
