I chose number three
It still resonates with me
A funny little childhood routine
I remember as fondness, not to demean
I wrote a story about this time
Meaning it comically but not in rhyme
Published on my post
Then received a response, darker than most
Was from my sister I thought fine
Ended up blocking her after a time
She said in public here
That’s not what happened, not funny, but fear
She remembered somehow, totally untrue
But went on to describe what she thought she knew
I was embarrassed for my followers to think
My childhood stories false, which I had inked
This went on till her perspective
Was caused by some *mental defective
As stories she vented were not true
I ended up blocking her from my blog view.

*diagnosed shortly after
Reena , I’m not sure if this is what the prompt required

A perfect take on the idea of the prompts, I think. The more I pay attention to events and people, the more I observe their different takes on the same thing. They are, of course, all clearly wrong (haha!) but I don’t tell them that.
Nicely done 👏

You know, the memories we share collectively with family, siblings have different meaning for all of them.

I concede but all of us knew she wasn’t right

Some people do have a twisted sense of reality. And you did well to block her from your blog. Who needs additional aggravation.

I could relate to it instantly, as my mother often presented conflicting viewpoints on the same incidents from our childhood. Neptunian oppression!
