Paper Warriors and Magazine Thieves

Write a song about looking back with friends on specific childhood misdeeds and realizing your memories of the details are hazy and conflicting. Focus on two incidents: toilet-papering Mrs. Henderson's trees across the street ("We were like 12 and thought it would be hilarious") and the aftermath ("got caught by Mrs. Henderson", "tried to blame it on the high school kids at first?", "Wait but didn't we actually clean it up before anyone found out?"). Also include finding Playboys in Uncle Rick's garage ("found those old Playboys in Uncle Rick's garage", "tried to memorize the pages so we could put them back in the exact same order?") and arguing about the details years later ("Wait what? I don't remember standing on paint cans at all 🤔", "I thought we used that old wooden step stool?"). The song should capture the humor of these "spy missions" and minor rebellions, alongside the strange feeling that your shared past isn't as solid as you thought.
