After witnessing a car accident, you're discussing the incident with friends. One of them insists the car involved was red, while you recall it being blue. How do you feel about this?

I stick to my recollection and am sure it was blue.

I become unsure about the color and no longer have a clear memory.

I make a mental note but don't change my recall of the event.
