Many years ago, my dad and I were talking in the car, and I memorized a random license plate. Since then, he's occasionally asked me if I remember, but I'm not allowed to say it or write it down anywhere because that's cheating. If I remember right, he's planning to quiz me on my wedding day, whenever that happens.
Convenient
The only assurance he has that I'm not going to make something up is that he knows I don't lie.
That sounds like a lie. I gave up lying looong ago.
I was just poking fun that you can’t prove it to us
Not that we know the original anyway ٩(^‿^)۶
Haha, I don't have to prove a thing to you. This is between me and my father.
My older brother used to make me memorize random things. When he took me to practice driving, he'd quiz me on the color and type of cars around me. He'd ask me license plates of people in the parking lot or to remember long combinations of words letters and numbers
At one point, I could glance at an SSN or credit card number and remember it for a while... I can't do it anymore, but my passwords are great. It's amazing what the mind can be trained to do
We also came up with this stupid super long url, I still remember it decades later but he can never get the whole thing right. One of these days I'm going to buy the domain name and put something up there, it's almost a password in itself
Can you give some examples of credit cards you've memorized? Don't forget the three wacky numbers on the back.
We should know when they expire as well, just to be sure.
Record yourself signing it in ASL. Doesn't break his rules.
