Makes sense, but why only isolated incidents of mundane activities? Why not a lot more than you typically hear about or personally remember?
It just seems strange how a person can, for example, remember drinking from a red cup and not remember eating from a blue plate when both experiences may be equally mundane in an adult's perspective, but significant in a child's.
I just use that example as a comparison to the memory patterns you see and how they seem randomly selective.
It's interesting.
