what's the earliest clear memory you have?

[Dominato3r]

~2 years old. My youngest sister was born and I made some snarky comment. I THINK it was on tape so that's probably why I know this, but I'm not sure.

From before I was 5 or 6 years old I'm honestly not sure I can differentiate between a true memory that I have and a created memory coming from pictures and discussions with my family. :hmm:

I am 2 yrs 14 days old. Crying in my crib late at night. My mom let's me open a Christmas present early. It is a little toy Burt and Ernie car from Sesame Street.

I don't know how or why I can remember this, but I was young enough to still be in a crib. I remember looking out of the open bedroom door, seeing my mom sitting at the kitchen table eating a sandwich or something similar, and my grandmother walking past the room to go into the bathroom. Then everything goes black. The entire memory lasts about 10-20 seconds.

There was nothing significant about it that I can think of, and no one told me about it, I just remember it somehow.

Coming into work last Friday.

Standing in our bathroom next to my Mom and reaching up for the sink. I asked her when I could go to school and she said next year as I was too little this year. Clear as a bell in my memory even if it was in 1945-46.

Moms.......the best.:wub:

yeah, I guess that is why it is so ingrained in my brain. I asked my mom if she remembered it and she said yes, but she remembered something even earlier. Me jumping up and down in the crib swearing after she yelled at me to lay down and take a nap. My mom and my sister dying laughing.

I sort of remember it.

Have 2 older siblings and I'd ask the same. When I did get to go to kindergarten, a few houses down, I cut one day the 1st week. Mom found me crying behind the house because I didn't know what to do then. Whipped me all the way to kindergarten. ~1969.

I don't really remember much before kindergarten. I'm very locationally oriented (is that a word?) and remember best those things that happened when there is a location to associate them with. Before kindergarten, everything is just pretty much the same day in and day out, since we never went anywhere special. So...not much really.

My oldest memory is entirely tactile. It involves feeling very warm, my hands felt swollen (just like to pink floyd line) and playing with my fingernail because it felt sharp. My mother relates that I had a very high fever for several days when I was about 2 years old.
The next memory is of choking on a sourball when I was 3 and pounding on the floor to get my mothers attension, because I couldnt scream.

Dont know if I posted in any of those earlier threads but I sure remember a lot of the posters. Does that count as an early memory?

[IronWing]

And the first thing I remember, I was lying in my bed. Well I couldn't've been no more than one or two and I remember there's a radio, coming from the room next door. My mother laughed the way some ladies' do.

 

[LiuKangBakinPie]

The day John F. Kennedy was killed. I was 9 months old.

You lie. You can't remember stuff from 9 months. Your brain isn't even low-level functioning at that point...
