I think it really depends on the situation the word is used in. Like, I never would have asked my mother why she couldn’t remember who I was. But I’d often say, “Remember when you were a little girl and you used to go to the farm for fresh eggs and cream and butter?”

Its like anything else. It’s not what you say, but how you say it, right?
