One thing I've learned from living with my 86yo mother is that exaggeration is part of her life. It isn't like she is trying to impress; she just remembers things as being bigger than they were.
But I have yet to meet the person who doesn't exaggerate for effect. The president should be more careful in his details, however.
I experienced a fire in the middle of the night in an apartment complex that left me without a home for 10 days and then having to move to a new apartment. Even though my belongings only suffered smoke damage, the emotional impact of that fire lasted a long time, and has certainly made me more empathetic to those who experience a fire, large or small.
