Memory treats people differently according to their¹ personalities. For Jerry and me², it smooths over the rocky spots of our past, and makes us feel as if us³ two have lived charned lives. But it works differently for someone who expects thing to go perfectly for them⁴ all the time. My parents are like that. Their friends and them⁵ are always complaining about how things ought to have been. Everyone in their crowd acts as if lif e has cheated them⁶. Mom and dad even talked that way during the big anniversary party jerry and me⁷ threw for his parents and they⁸.

Im just the opposite. For instance, I can remember the face of someone who once loaned me their⁹ bike when I needed to get home fast for some emergency, but I can’t remember what the emergency was all about. When people tell me their¹⁰ recollections of various events in my life, im always amazed at how my mind simply refuses to hold on to the unpleasent parts. But everybody has her¹¹ own memory quirks. If a person wants to keep all the facts of their¹² life straight, she¹³ should keep a daily journal. Even then, what the person writes in a journal at the end of a day depends on their¹⁴ memory, which is already busy rearranging the details. Nobody can expects to control her¹⁵ memory completely. If I cant control mine, im glad it doles out pleasant images for me instead of the dismal kind my parents have to live with for the rest of their¹⁶ lives.
