I remember walking to school by the local city college when I was in 1st and 2nd grade. Other than that, I just know the stories of what happened, not the actual occurrence.

I was 3 or 4 and I remember throwing one of my stuffed animals into the ceiling. I think it was an alvin the chipmunk doll. I remember throwing it up there and trying to chip the paint off. I was a little asshole.

I was cloned.

My first memory is of logging into AT.


Pretty funny motionman. :disgust: Now who is stalking who??? You now have another two weeks of hard banned vacation added to your previous two weeks. We will talk about the future of your posting here.

Hmm, I'd have to check with my parents how old I was but when I was 3-4 I pulled the fire alarm at a hotel. My dad was holding me next to it, and I just reached over and yanked. They couldn't find the keys to shut it off and the firetrucks showed up :) I don't know if they evacuated or not.

Waiting in line to see Star Wars in the summer of 1977. I was 2 and 3/4 or so (September b-day). I'll be 35 next month.

I remember my 2nd birthday party. This also happened to be the day my younger brother came home for the first time after being born. I don't remember much, just sitting on the floor when my mom got home and later throwing up, being given pepto bismal, and my dad carrying me around outside.

I'm now 21.

26 now. I was 3 1/2 and looking for a pre-school. Kindercare didn't want me because I was too young, so I ended up attending another place.

28 now. Earliest concrete memory is when my little brother was brought home for the first time. I was 2 years, 10 months old.

Around 5 years old, my sister was giving me a ride on her bike and we fell. My head bounced off the concrete and I got stitches. :(

I remember things from my parents' old house; we moved into their current house a week before my fourth birthday. I remember building a snow fort at our old house, which would have been the winter before we moved, which would have been just after I turned 3. Obviously my brother did all of the work on that snow fort.

Oh, I'm 27 now

I remember a room in my old house. I specifically remember the tv, hardwood floors, the couch, and my toy box. I also remember riding with my dad on his old Ford tractor cutting grass. I think we moved out of that house before I was 3.

between 1 and 2 I think? My parents would know.

Anyway I was running around the house nekkid and I stopped where the living room TV would reside some years later, and started to pee all over the carpet. I totally remember this and the story is confirmed by my parents, lol.

I don't know specifically how old I was, but I was still in a crib. It was a nightmare, very terrifying. My parents must have watched King Kong, because I remember dreaming that he was climbing up our building, and I saw his eyes staring through the window, and he started to reach in. As indelibly as it's imprinted upon my mind, I expect I most likely soiled myself.
