Hello everyone.
Im not totally sure if this is an experience or not, but I'd love yalls input on what happened, or what I think has happened.
First off, memories. Memories are patterns fired off in your brain in a specific way, over and over again. That being said, I have very specific memories associated with 2 things;(Please bear with me on this.)
One, my mother. Two, the peanut butter flavored cookies known as Nutter Butters.
For those that don't know, there are 2 main types of these cookies. There are the ones that are like wafers, rectangular and split in multiple beveled segments.
Then there are the ones that are actual cookies, and they're shaped a bit like peanuts.
I have it in my mind, and as far as I can remember, my mom has always loved the actual cookies. Its burned into my brain. When I connect the subjects "Mom" and "Nutter Butters", my head will bring up the fact that she loves the cookie type.
However.
A few weeks back by this point, I was metaphorically punched in the stomach as she told me she's always liked the wafers.
My dad corroborated this, and told me she's always liked the wafers. This might not seem super serious to anyone else, but it was like a slap in the face. I couldn't help but verbally freak out about it in front of her. I had to go walk outside and cool down. I wasn't mad at her or anything, but this bizzare switching of preferences has really been bugging me. I've half joked with her that I've been put in an alternate reality, but internally I sometimes wonder if thats actually what happened....
Any thoughts and inputs on this are welcomed, I haven't really been sure where to express my frustration about this. I apologize if this seems a little silly.
