Rebekah, her mother Denise and grandmother Gloria have a case regarding memory — specifically, is the memory of a child or an adult more reliable?  Denise insists that a grey house stood next door to her childhood home; Gloria says that’s simply not true, and that the house must be a figment of Denise’s imagination. Rebekah’s been dragged in to adjudicate their dispute before, but she’s got issues of her own with her mom’s recollections of past events.  Who is right, who is wrong, who can even remember? We turn to the man who never forgets, Judge John Hodgman, to decide.
