I'm reading a fic right now

where, for Reasons adult Harry is interacting with child Draco. Draco is chewing him out for messing up his school year, Harry is defending himself, and I'm thinking "Gosh, I don't remember the minutiae of my school days in this detail!"

And then it hit me. I really don't. I have a clearer and more complete picture of Harry Potter's school years and classmates than of my own.

Which is probably for the best, but still.

Well, thank you, but I must say that my complaint was not with the accuracy of recollection, tho’ that is a factor, but rather the “spontaneous” telling of a complete, perfectly structured narrative story without digression or omission.  When last did you do that?  I certainly never have!

What, never?
