mockingbirds and memories

My friend Amanda heard this poem on NPR and sent it to me. When we used to work together we would sometimes have coffee after school. Over the years wee had several discussions about how people remember thing differently.

This could be us... I remember telling Chris a very elaborate story about something... And he was like, "that never happened" in his deadpan manner.

Do you remember being at church and belting out some Christmas song and the song was over and I kept singing? And we couldn't stop laughing?

@glassjennifer Oh this is definitely us . . . I remember having a conversation with you about something that I didn't think happened either . . . I remember us referring to that as "the time you were with your 'other' family." And yes, I do remember us being at church and belting out a song, but I don't think it was Christmas, I think it was New Year's Eve. We were sitting on the left side at St. Jude's. And you sang a really high note and everyone else went low. It was really loud. I think about it almost every week when I go to church. I still think it's really funny.
