It's amazing what they remember

Me: Look at all the flags in the graveyard.

Hannah: Why are there flags?

Me: Because it's Memorial Day.  Those people were probably all in the military.

Jake: Remember when you tripped in the graveyard?

Me: Um....no.  I've never been in that graveyard.

Jake: Yeah, it was when I was 2.

Me (looking at Lincoln): I did trip in the graveyard that one time in Decorah when I took flowers to Gretchen's grave.  Remember?  How old would he have been then?

Lincoln: Two.

Me: That's sort of freaky.

Agreed. Had a similar experience with A over the weekend. It's odd to get into those little conversations in which the child is so insistent that she's right. Talk about Bizarro World.
