Perception

[lillibet]

Yesterday I took Jason out to Wellesley. It was a beautiful day and we're
driving a convertible this week and needed a suitable destination near
Boston and had already been out to the DeCordova on Tuesday.

We walked all over campus and I told stories about various places. At one
point we were on a path near one of my former dorms and I said "You remember
the story about me blowing my nose and getting hit in the ass by the
ground?" (I had a terrible cold and my eustachian tubes were stuffed, so
blowing my nose confused my inner ear to the point that I lost balance, but
had no experience of falling.) "Well, that happened right here."

Jason was startled to realize that he had always pictured that story as
happening in the quad at Harvey Mudd, where he went to school.
