1. How much do you think emotions influence our memories? My mom and her sister talked about a traumatic event from their childhood and they both remembered it very differently. If our emotions can alter the way we remember things, or everyone remembers the same event in a different way, how is it ever possible to find out what really happened?
2. The other night I went into the kitchen to find a knife (not for any psycho reason, I think I just wanted to cut a string or something??) I didn’t turn on the light, but walked strait to a drawer that I know I don’t keep knives in, but still I opened it and pulled out a knife. Weird? Am I psychic?
3. My sister-in-law said that Hannah would adjust to formula, and it appears that she has. Could she be right about other things? Nobody told me how stinky formula poop is though…
4. Why can’t they have a home-strep-throat test? It seems like it would decrease exposure if you didn’t have to go into the Dr’s office to get your throat swabbed.
5. There are a lot of new fun laminate countertops. If we were going to stay in this house forever I’d get something funky and modern.
6. Why is it so cute when a 2 year old toddles up to your bed at 3am and says, “Mommy, I eeep with you?” But its not so cute at 5am when he’s got you scooted all the way to the edge of the bed and his knee is in your spine?
7. Seriously, why in the heck do they put red dye in infant Tylenol? Don’t they know 1/3 off it comes right back out?

I definitly think emotion effects your memory but also age. Depending on if you were a child or not when the event happened. Little people do not always understand the whole picture or get what is going on behind the scenes. Sometimes the only reason it is remembered is because something major happened but they don’t remember all of the details and sometimes create the memory from other peoples stories of the event told to them while growing up.
