    Does it count as a memory if you are aware that it did happen but don’t remember it? There’s probably a better way of saying it.

    I am aware I played mini golf and did fucking terribly at 3, ramps are bullshit and all, but I don’t remember doing it, simply that it happened.

      Most people start retaining more concrete memories around three. It’s when we develop object permanence iirc

      Are you asking my opinion? If so, it’s not a memory. My mom always told the story of how I was going to attack the Wicked Witch when I saw her on TV but I don’t remember it. I remember my mom telling the story.
