Okay, this part really happened: I was playing in my front yard and got attacked by a stray cat. It was orange. The animal control people tested the cat for diseases, and they had to test me for rabies while they waited for the results to come in.
But--I remember the nurse taking out a red Popsicle and rubbing it all over my arm. She told me it would feel like fire ants. And my mom just watched.
Looking back, I bet the Popsicle was some medical thing. Or maybe she gave me a Popsicle afterwards. But I remember being rubbed by a red Popsicle. And my mom says that never happened.

This blog is dedicated to the memory of events that you remember even though they never really happened, or events that might have happened, but only one person actually remembers and therefore everybody else calls that person crazy. If you have a funny or poignant memory that you shared with a person who was supposedly there, only to find out that you are the sole keeper of the memory, send it to us and we will post it here for posterity.
