Well that would explain a lot of your posts. 😛

No, thats crazy though. What was the damage?

I was crossing the street when I was 4 and some other girl was crossing me and told me to go (she was like 7). There was this HUGE pine tree on the corner of the street and it was pouring rain, so I went and as I went I sa the car and tried to run back but I slipped and the car nailed me, dragigne me 30 yards with my head pinned between the car and the ground.

I broke my right femur and I have a boatload of scars on my forehead and on the left/right sides of my head that I don't have some hair growing. It's a lot more noticeable when I hget my hair cut.

I also had to have plastic surgery on my forehead area and my eyebrows don't sit straight. You can't really notice until I point it out to people, and when I wear sun glasses you can notice because you can see my eye brow above one side of my sun glasses but not the other.

Also if I lower my eye brows making an angry face you can tell as well with the way the skin goes.

Needless to say, that tree has been long LONG gone and was cut down immediately after the accident. There has also been a circle put in the road to slow traffic down in the neighborhood it happened on.

EDIT:

can kind of see some of the scars here and here.

Also pretty noticeable scar here too where my hair is messed up going towards my sideburns.

Even after you pointed all of that stuff out, I honestly can't see any of it in those pictures.

You're lucky to be alive after something like that.

Hah oh okay, I'm sure if you saw it from angles you would notice it instantly. It was funny cause just last week at lunch a co-worker was like "what the hell happened to your head?" and he hadn't asked in like a year of me being here hah.

And yah, I'm very lucky to be alive. I can't imagine how my parents were when it happened. I was too little to use crutches too so I was in a wheelchair for like 6 weeks or something after I was in the hospital for like 4-6 weeks.

I remember being at someone's house and waking from a nap lying in the sun near a window and watching dust swirl around in the air above me. I was still an infant.

I have memories of my grandpa holding me in his dining room and feeding me jam from a spoon. He died when I was 2. I also remember him trying to get me to pick up a huge watermelon at a family reunion.

I have memories of living in our first house. We built our new house when I was 3 or 4. I remember the house being built. They took us there to walk through it while it was being built a few times. We lived on the same property, out in the country, so I could see them working from our old house.

When I was maybe 5, I cracked my head on the sidewalk. I was riding my bike with training wheels and I made a sharp turn and fell over while on the bike. I walked home drenched in blood with my face all bloody. I dont remember any of this, but my mother says she nearly passed out when she saw me. She started screaming and a neighbor took us to the hospital. I dont know why she didnt drive. I have pictures of myself with my head wrapped after they put in stitches and I still have the little tshirt I was wearing that's stained in blood. It's a thundercats tshirt. 😀

I know. Two cracked heads is worse than one cracked head.

I remember my birthday in pre-school, which would put me at 6.

I have a lot of other memories that I believe pre-date the one above, but it is hard to put dates on other memories because I lived in the same house for the first 19 years of my life (no new house/town or new school or new friends), I was the youngest child (no new siblings), and none of my close relatives died until I was 7.

I was 3 and being a pain in the ass in Disney World (1986). My parents grounded me because I was crying in public because I didnt get to the Sphere.

 

[Fritzo]

Mine was the second day after I was born. I remembered thinking "Whoa...I double in age in one day! I hope this trend doesn't continue..."

Memory, especially early memory, is particularly fallible and prone to having been constructed by proxy over the course of your shildhood. Your family related stories to you that often become the basis for false memories.

Yeah I don't see any scars in the pics, but I believe you.

Cute girl. :thumbsup:

My earliest memory was the importance of realizing when my earliest memory started.

My next memory(maybe false I dunno) was biting my sisters hand in my crib because I didn't like stuff near my face all the time.

I also remember trying to stay awake during those nap times in preschool and failing every time.

 

[Juno]

my earliest memory was probably back in preschool when i got a chicken pox.

 

[DarkThinker]

From about early 3 years old, the very earliest memory I have is waking up in the morning one day my dad was reading his newspaper in the living room while sipping a hot cup of Nescafee like he always did every morning before heading to his office, he smiled at me, handed me a little vanilla drink out of the fridge (my favorite) gave me a rub on the head and took off to work.

 

[AgaBoogaBoo]

When I was in preschool, I had a friend in the other teacher's class. I grabbed all my stuff on the first day, walked over to the other one, hung up my coat, put my lunch box on top of the rack, and then just sat down with my friend and started playing. My parents were told about this at the end of the day and the teachers didn't care so I got to stay in that class 😛

When we were outside, we used to yell down the sewer drains to see if the ninja turtles were there. Those were some good times 😀

 

[xSauronx]

i was 3ish, i remember sitting on our couch in the living room looking outside as the sun shined in

Fireman carrying me down the stairs while our house was on fire.🙁

 

[wahoyaho]
