Is that how you remember it? — a statement designed to call into question the projected memories of a person waxing poetic about the past. It’
s another way of saying: HELL NAW!!!!!!!! It wasn’t that way at all!!!!!! The ethos of “Is that how you remember it?” Is best captured by The Doobie Brothers song featuring Michael McDonald on
lead vocals What a
Fool Believes — which was an awesome song.
And
yes! That’s how I remember it!
Lover #1 when we were together we were both
happy. No matter where we went out to eat, it seemed as though they were always playing our song. I never knew love before I met you!
Lover #2 Is that how you remember it?
Rich and successful person: The “come up” is the best part. Maaaaaaaaaaaan! I think I was happier when I was in the struggle and every day was a scramble. At least I knew who I was and who to trust.
