Re: Your Earliest Memory
Mine was basically the same as yours, actually.

It's more than that. Before a certain point, your brain simply does not store long-term memories.Originally posted by el freako
Most people can't remember early memories because they find them hard to date accurately - as a toddler dates are things that happen to other people

Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.

JFK, Nov 1963, at age 16 months. (Note avatar. 'Nuff said)
No year sucked more than 1968 (In America as well). A number of close friends died.
"And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man." -- JFK Inaugural, 1961
"Extremism in the defense of liberty is not a vice." -- Barry Goldwater, 1964 GOP Nomination acceptance speech (not George W. Bush 40 years later...)

Commies tried to make me poor and hungry and leave me and be cruel, but then they became piss poor and I had my first big laugh. That's my memory, having that big laugh when commies started being poor.In da butt.

i was merily climbing a hill in kintergarden(sp) and merily a merry green bee flew above me. and i said what a nice bee but i must be careful lest she stings me. then a sharp pain on my hand. then running and shouting it stung me it stung me. then other kids ushering me to the nursery. then the lady squeezing with her nails the sting out of my hand. then saying to the kids that had gathered around, now go on, go away, it's over. then my mom not believing me that it was a green bee. bees arent green.Comment

I think I remember myself out of the hospital when I was just born, but that's most likely a memory that was fabricated by my brain from pictures and stories.
Other than that, there is a flash of a memory of me trying unsuccessfully to pull myself up a rope, probably aged 2 or 3.Comment

I remember older stuff too. I remember the book: the adventures of a little lion and I remember another book for children: the boy with the silk hands. that had scared me very much and i was feeling so sorry for the boy with the silk hands because he couldnt eat berries. they stained his hands.
i also remember going to children theater: "the tin city" and the head tin not saying my name when he said hi to the kids by name. fortunately that was rectified after i talked to my mother.Last edited by Bereta_Eder; May 3, 2005, 12:07.Comment

my earliest clear memory is lost but what I do remember is sunshine and warmth, feeling happy sitting in parent's living room on the carpet with the sun streaming in, probably about 2.Any views I may express here are personal and certainly do not in any way reflect the views of my employer. Tis the rising of the moon..
Look, I just don't anymore, okay?Comment

cool thread
My earliest memory is from our living room in our family's very own house. I was naked, I was walking, and I could see our brand new TV in the darkness, other members of my family were watching it and I was walking towards them.
I think I was 3, but I'm not sure. I have several memories from the ages 4 (near 5) and 5, and I started fully become aware of my own consciousness at the age of 6.Comment
