Why do I remember that? I can't recall the last time I read the floss package for instructions. For some reason, that is just a fact I will never forget.
I've always wondered why I remember certain things. Some of the things that stand out in my memory seem so insignificant. It makes sense to remember your first day of school, your prom, your grandmother's funeral or any other significant life event. Those are milestones, but what about all that seemingly random information that you retain?
I'm sure there is a really smart-sounding, scientific reason for it. Something to do with chemicals, I'm sure. I'm really not interested in that though. Science is just one way of looking at something, and it's not my medium of choice. I think that there is a reason that we remember these things. Everything, every little intricate detail, has a purpose. This is making me think of the movie Signs, which is perfect for a more exciting explanation of my point.
I hope one day, I will need to know that you need 18 inches of floss. For now, I am going to just keep estimating and hoping I tear off a comparable amount.
