Twitbir Follow Rita C. Onwurah @RitaOnwurah When I reminded my mum about what she said to me in anger years ago, she was shocked. I was 16 at the time. And over a decade later, I still hadn't forgotten. The person saying the words always forgets. It's the person the words are spoken to, that's burdened with the memory. BA kyraneko Follow "The axe forgets, but the tree remembers." alterboyx Follow This is a huge thing ESPECIALLY with kids. To the parent, they lashed out when they were mad and forgot about it, expecting the kid to forget too. To the kid? It was a big moment that defined your relationship with your parents. Stuff my parents don't remember doing or saying were things that to me spoke very, very loudly, that I was not safe to be open and honest with my parents. The axe forgets, but the tree remembers, indeed. - iFunny
