well that's the story as I recall

I think it time for a public service announcement/my inner grammar nazi coming out. Directed at no one in particular but rather the world.

you're - a contraction of "you" and "are." It is in no way a possessive so let's not use it as one.
your - used to indicate possession, as in "your shoes."

Used correctly in a sentence:
You're going to put away your clothes, right?
(aka - You are going to put away the clothes that belong to you, right?)

I feel better now.

EDIT

they're - a contraction of "they" and "are."
their - possessive.
there - a place.
Used correctly:
They're going to see their friends over there.
