Whenever I think of the past, it brings back so many memories.

Me: Isaac Asimov wrote I, Robot.
Leslie: I know.
Me: And The Fountainhead.
Leslie: No. That was Ayn Rand.
Me: Um. I mean, The Foundation. He wrote a lot of things.
Leslie: Like Dolly Parton.
Me: She didn't write science fiction.
Leslie: No. Songs. She wrote a lot of SONGS.
Me: (thinking snarkily to myself, but not daring to speak these words aloud) Sure, Leslie. Sure, you meant songs not science fiction. Whatever.
Leslie knows a lot of things, but she doesn't know all the things.
