is more of a CON-fabulist than what you're describing.

Having said that, I remember as a small boy wetting my pants on the submarine ride at Disneyland. I remember the embarrassment, my mother chiding, but kind, etc. It's etched into my now aging brain. A childhood mini-trauma.

But then a few years back, at a family gathering where we were all talking about times we had embarrassed ourselves, my brother goes, "no, that was me who peed my pants, not you." It was just as deeply etched into his brain as mine! We discussed it, but could not agree which of us it actually was, and we both started doubting our own recollections.

But the kicker was that neither my sister, nor my parents could remember which one us suffered that embarrassing moment that fateful day in Disneyland.

The mystery remains!
