Earliest memory you can remember.

Whats the earliest memory you can remember?

For me, its my 3rd birthday. I remember opening presents, eating pizza, and being annoyed at my brother.

My earliest memory is a mysterious missing 3-4 months. One night in winter, when I was about 3 years old the whole family was out shovelling out the house after a snow storm. Literally, the house was buried up to the troughs ( I grew up in the Arctic ok) Anyhoo, I remember going to bed that night and waking up the next day. Nothing too mysterious about that except for the fact it was now spring time. Late May I'd guess judging from the complete lack of snow. I remember rushing out to the kitchen to tell my mom all the snow melted and she just gave me this really weird look.

Without any kind of visual reminder (photo) i would have to say cutting my thub when i was about 4. I remember the important stuff from it, like it was a ringpull can, there was a lot of blood, i needed stiches, and it hurt a lot. Actually, i lied. i do have a visual reminder. The scar on my left thumb, which help a lot with learning left and right, also happens to be my only scar (AFAIK).

I don't know how old I was, a baby I think but I remember I was going to have a bath and my mum was carrying me through the front door, stairs were ahead and living room on the right. could hear the bath running but door was closed. That's all really. I have no idea why I'd remember that as it has no connection with emotion or anything really, but there you go, perhaps I fell in the bath and brained myself and suffered amnesia?

When my brither and sister came home (I was 2 at the time). They were adopted and had just came in from a long flight from Korea. This is my first real vivid memory.

When I was three my grandpa was watering the garden andhe put the hose down in the wet soil, I grabbed the hose, which had mud on it, and threw it into the pool. A chase ensued.

I was 18 months old, and a work crew was chainsawing the branches off a tree in the front yard. I suspect that I now only remember remembering this, though. However, I do vividly remember my family moving house, when I was just a little over two.

I can't temporally order all my earliest memories, but the earliest datable ones are from the autumn of 1984, when I was nearing three years of age - I remember my mother being pregnant with my sister.

Just after I was born, I looked behind me and remarked: "That's the last time I'm ever going in one of those!"

That reminds me of Malcolm in the Middle when he asks the uber genius what his first memory was stating his was something that happened as a toddler, and the kid says I remember being born and then goes on to decribe the exact physical process from the inside

Earliest memory you can remember.

Puking on my 6th birthday. Too many cakes and soda.

When I was about 4, I remember asking my parents about a memory I had. In this memory I was sleeping on the floor, but then I crawled over to pick up a toy - a bed for Fisher Price Little People, which was missing a part. I then looked up at the ceiling where a strange eye-like device looked down on me. My mother said that that had to have been when we moved into a house, getting there before our furniture, when I was 6 months old. The "eye" was our weird-looking light fixture.

I also remember a bit from when I was 2, before we moved again. I remember a trip to the shark tank at Sea World, looking at the pictures of sharks on the walls and one kid (he looked old to me, but they say he was about 7) shoving another against the wall.

I was standing on the rug, and had my head up against a wall. I think that I was playing hide and go seek wiht my cats.

 

[The 777 Hoax]

My 4th Christmas, when I got a remote-controlled "tar."

 

[Masquerouge]

I think it was when I was 2 or 3. My mom left me at this lady's place, and I wanted to play with her son's toys, but she put them on top of the fridge so that I would not destroy them.
The frustration, man. The frustration.

My earliest memory is walking to the local bakery with my mom and getting a fresh loaf of polish rye bread. mmmmmm.

 

[North King]

I can date mine only by the dialogue:

"Mom, when am I gonna be five?"

Yep. I was certainly a precocious little child.

 

[Masquerouge]

Curiously, I don't have any vivid memories of my birthdays

I remember lying on the floor behind a chair in the living room while the family talked about naming a new dog. I wanted to call her "virginia" the rest of them settled on "bonnie". I was about 3.
