I guess I have it, am that kind of a person that remembers so much am not bragging or something, but I remember those old days while still young when I used to live with my grandmother I even thought she was my mum. There is this young lady who used to come and buy me lots of stuff clothes, shoes, sweets and I called her aunt. But granny one day said, no shes not your aunt, she's your mum. I was confused but they explained it to me. When I was in high school I reminded mom that incident she laughed and was perplexed on how I could remember so well
