Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

As long as the fudged details don't materially change the relationship between the anecdote and the point, I don't think it's a big deal.
Like whether it was grade 3 or 4 doesn't really matter, but if it was the teacher telling the story or a classmate recounting the tales of his summer up with his uncle in Canada and they couldn't retrieve the body because they ended up in a motorcycle fight with a band of ninjas, I'd say that's a bigger deal.
Because why would he leave out the ninja fight bit, that part is metal!
Because I'm an asshole of epic proportions. That's MY ninja story and I'm gonna make sure that you don't get to hear it!
