What was your earliest memory? What little moment, or point of time that you remember is the earliest?

For me? I'd have to say, probably watching my mother use a trowel (I don't know if that's how you spell it but...) to dig through that garden of vegetables, used to have a lot of plants, but alas, need of money is a cruel mistress.

Or it could be the time I was walking up those blue stairs, meh, not entirely sure.

I think mine was living on Lee Avenue in Yonkers, New York. On the top of the hill, even.

I know this isn't what this thread is about, but I'm going to share my earliest memory of this forum.

Anyway, I think I posted an introduction, and I think maybe Bettag said "Watch out for this guy named Dormar, he's a crossdresser."

I took me a month to realize that was ramrod.

My earliest memory is waking up and wanting breakfast. I remember being really confused.

I don't remember. Seriously, it's like I don't remember hardly any of my childhood

_________________

I have really early memories that I can't put in a proper order, but all of these are from before or during preschool (which would have me at like... age two through four)

- Getting sick and my father prescribing a lukewarm bath (I can still remember the color of our bathroom; it was a sort of weird peachy pink and all dimly lit.)

- Getting scared in the middle of the night and running to my parents' bed (dark blue) and getting in next to my mom.

- My father filming me eating a lollipop; I said it "tasted like green." We used to have this on video; I don't know what happened to it, but I do remember it happening.

- The time I found out my mom's name, Kathleen, by reading it on a bill that was sitting on the kitchen counter (I was an early reader) and me later calling her by it. She reprimanded me and said I was supposed to call her Mommy.

I drew something on an etch-a-sketch and held it up to show my mom and in the process it got erased and I cried.


The story of my life :C

That reminds me of when my cousin spent Funk HOURS covering the entire etch-a-sketch canvas just so we could see the little erasy things behind the plastic.

My earliest memory was of a cat cake that had licorice whiskers.

I was made conscious in the womb due to my mother ingesting the Water of Life while pregnant. Because of this, my genetic memories were awakened, and all my ancestors live within me.

I remember going to day-care when I was a toddler. One night it rained, and there was a big puddle out the front for a while. To me, it seemed like it was there forever.

I also remember, when I was three I guess, driving past the first house I lived in. My mum asked me if I remembered it. I didn't. I'd probably moved out of the house only a year before.

There are some other things, but I'm not sure if they're memories, or just something my parents told me that happened. I know I don't remember anything before my sister was born when I was sixteen months old.

Uh...I remember being in the next door neighbors little downstairs area in one of those battery operated rocker things and then waking up and crawling around.

Oh, and its not my first memory, but I vividly remember all the kids that were my brother's age (3 years older than me, I must have been 2 or so)gathering round the planter in the middle of the block and trying to open the front landing gear of a Micro Machine A-10. They though there was a monster living inside it or something, and when they got it open, they all freaked out. /random

Earliest memory for me would be waking up in the narrow bedroom I shared with my twin brother and being lifted out of my cot by my father. It was the day we switched rooms with my elder brother, so he got the narrow room and my brother and I shared a much larger one for the next six years or so. I must've been three years old or thereabouts. Weirdly I always remember this as a sort of origin point, as if I remembered nothing that day about the day before

I remember standing next to our aquarium in the hall, watching as my mother and sisters were making dinner in the kitchen. But the memory must be quite contaminated, since we didn't have an aquarium back then... I have quite a few more memories, but that's the oldest one I can remember.

I can't even remember what my earliest memory is.

Yes, my memory is that abysmal.

Either it's watching All That or some older stuff involving a cardboard box, maybe.

Earliest unconfirmed memory (my parents are skeptical that my details are correct) is going to a hospital when I was two and seeing my newborn brother under some special lights meant to treat some kind of blood condition newborns can have sometimes. I might've made it up from being told about it though.

I have a lot of memories from age 3 that are more likely not to be made up from being told things afterward. They're all just still pictures, really, no motion or feeling.

First confirmed memory: I had a babysitter who was with me more than anyone else, and she taught me how to speak. When I was scared, I asked for her and not mom. I don't remember what she looks like at all, and we have no pictures. But I remember looking back at the outside of her house after we just said goodbye because we were moving back to the US from England. My parents confirmed that my memory of what her house looked like was correct. Brick everywhere, in the street and on the buildings. Strangely, just like my beloved Charlottesville... Hmmmmmmmm...

I was in the car with my mom getting ready to go to the store. I was experimenting with my eye-sight. If you want to know what I was thinking...
"Wow! It can work for me but not here? I got to try that again! Yep. It only works for me." At that point, I was refering to the fact I could see only through my point of view. And I think I was 1 or 2

How old are you, son? Seriously, Dora? You have to be, like, 7.

And Backstreetboys was cool in the 90's.

10 or younger. I looked at the Wikipedia article.

Was the boy band / pop era really all that bad?

Nah, gangsta rap ended summer of '05. We're currently in the emo/crappy alt rock fad.

Nope. It really wasn't. I would much rather listen to the Backstreet Boys than My Chemical Romance.

My earliest memory is of looking at a magazine of some sort while walking around the car in the parking lot outside of our apartment, then slipping on gravel and skinning my knee. My dad took me into the bathroom (I believe it was yellow) and washed it off as I shrieked into oblivion.

Yep, jolly good times.
