I'm certain a lot of my memories are fake. My dad was a big slideshow guy when I was very little. He used to take a lot of photos and never made prints, he always got slides, so he could put on the slideshow and spin yarns. Any number of my memories I think were planted during these slide shows of various vacations.
Right. And even very reliable honest people might get some facts very wrong after, say, 35 years. Of course, you can't even suggest this anymore.
