we have it on video
so i can see how thrilled i was with it at the time. i don't see that it matters if you remember it. it matters how excited you were at the time - and crucially, battered will always remember how much she loved it.

and you would have been just as excited regardless of what it was.
That's the point being made here.

not true
i don't remember it now, but apparently i asked for it very specifically at the time, and we had fun planning it together. my mum went to a huge amount of effort to make it for me, and nearly tore all her hair out over it (i wanted a princess asleep in a bed). i don't see why it matters that i don't remember it now, if it was fun for both of us at the time.

The use of "apparently" is the point
You are remembering secondhand
