Right now you think you can remember something you said 10 years ago, but you don't remember nothing you said10 minutes ago?

I'm not certain what your point is, but, yes, often times a person CAN remember something said 10 years ago, but not something said 10 minutes ago. Perhaps what was said 10 years ago was more momentous. I can remember what I was doing when they announced that President John F. Kennedy was assassinated!
Also, many types of memory loss are that way; I can better remember things 50 years ago than things one day ago.
Is this what you are referring to?

LOL
As a long-time sufferer of CRS ("Can't Remember Stuff"), yes... Now, what was the question? Wait, where am I and who drove?
Actually, in all seriousness I do have trouble remembering the day-to-day conversations (or at least with whom I've had them). Much of what I do runs together (clean your room, do your homework, why is your sister crying?) because it's repeated over and over... But there are things I remember very clearly from many years ago. Mostly it has to do with the level of personal significance...
Doctor: You know they say short term memory is the second thing to go.
Patient: So what's the first?
Doctor: I can't remember.

If you "don't remember nothing", it means you DO remember something. Obviously YOU don't remember the rule of double negatives.

That's common among people with short term memory loss. It's also common among people with short term memory loss.

Tell that to the DUCK you just tried to hug, and I might believe what you just said.
