Oh man, this sounds like an actual critique of a story in creative writing class around 1991.
Other students: The character's actions don't seem realistic.
Author: But I did this. This is what happened to me in real life.
Prof: Fiction has to be better than real life.

Told my 5yo nephew “it’s a great day for the race!” and he immediately perked up and asked what race. So I answered “the human race”
…he then spent the rest of the day excitedly telling everyone all about how he was gonna win the human race 😅
