Earliest thing i have a clear recolection of was when my puppy died from swallowing super glue when i was about 6 or 7 what about you?

My parents last fight before they broke up near valenties day, I think I was 2..

I got my head stuck in the staircase, trying to peep my head through the railing. I was three:Oh crap

I remember my crib blanket had pumpkins on it...im guessing thats a pretty fucking early memory..but thats about it.

My cat dying when I was 3

oh yeah one more when i was like 6 i was electricuted
had 2nd degree burns on my hands

At 7 years old I fucked an 8 year old girl it was a blast.

Thats the second thing I remember! My uncle had to come over with a jack to pry my head out...

I wasn't talking much yet, just a few months old (maybe 10-12 months), but old enough to stand up while holding onto the sides of my playpen. I remember I could understand what my parents were saying, but I couldn't speak much myself yet. I was standing in my playpen and crying, afraid because there was a thunderstorm and I wanted someone to pick me up. My mother wanted to but I remember my dad telling her not to pick me up because it would just reinforce my belief that a thunderstorm was something to be afraid of. I cried and cried until the storm was over. My parents actually remember it, too. They don't remember exactly how old I was but they remembered it happening after I told them that I remembered it.

After that my earliest memory is from when I was about 2 and a girl at daycare took the rubber duck that I ALWAYS played with after naptime every day and I bit the crap out of her. I got a spanking for it but no one EVER touched that duck again! :1orglaugh

I remember sitting in the movie theatre at a little over 2 years old. My little sister had just been born and we were seeing Superman: The Movie.

This is my most vivid memory from that young of an age.

Candyflip, you just reminded me that I remember seeing Star Wars when I was about 18 months old. I fell asleep during the movie and I woke up in the car on the way home and my parents told me I'd missed Darth Vadar in the lobby signing authographs after the show. I was PISSED! :mad:

My parents were shocked when I told them I remembered that years ago. I still remember it clearly.

Hammered my own thumb when I was 2 :mad:

The last thing I can remember :

There was a guy asking something about the earliest thing.

Ehh...

What was I saying ?

What am I doing here ?

I can't remember.

First memory is of me and my Dad walking out to the beach and watching as helicopters and boats searched for the downed plane of baseball great Roberto Clemente. I was 3.

He would become my hero as I grew :)

Being held by my Dad and watching a carousel go around - I was 2 or 3.

I think we've all gotten our head stuck in a railing, hehe - it's like a kid initiation or something :thumbsup

Dunno if it's my first, but one of the first was watching Mary Poppins at the cinema with my mom :1orglaugh

Is yesterday early enough? :1orglaugh

1-2 years old, getting attacked by my dads dog (because I was spitting on it)

2-3 years old. My oldest brother was pushing my down the sidewalk on his skateboard.

Oh yeah, another 1-2. My brother stuck a key in a light socket and I got shocked from it too because I was touching him. We both starting screaming and crying.

4-6 months old riding in the backseat of my parents station wagon watching stuff passing by.

My parents were blown away since they got rid of that car before I turned 1 and I can still remember what the car looked like totally clear to this day 31 years later.

falling down the stairs at 4 and breaking my arm

eating a whole bottle of baby aspirin and getting my stomach pumped when I was around 3 or 4

The fall of Rome. I was too late to stop it. Been laying low since.

That's really freakishly late to have your first memory...

killing small animals in the front yard.

most of the memories you guys have from when you were 3 and under are not real memories. someone told you the story at a later time, and you imagined yourself in it. that is what you actuall remember. most psychologists agree that your long term memory doesnt fully develop until you are around 4 years of age. This is not true in all cases, some of you might truly remember things from before that age, but most of you dont. And you will never know if you actually remember the incident, or if you remember the imagined recollection.

anyway, i remember almost drowning in my parents pool while my mom was holding me as a baby. She doesnt remember telling me a story, or anything like that ever happening. so it could have been a dream, or a real memory, that she didnt even realise was happening.

the mind is a tricky thing.

I had McDonalds for lunch.

I remember being baptized at a few months old. I remember seeing my god parents (aunt and uncle) standing to the right as I was being held. The priest had a red type robe. Then the feeling of the water on my head. I bust out crying because it felt weird.

Most of my own family finds it hard to believe I remember that but I do vividly. I have a few other memories when I was still unable to speak as well.

Valid point and it makes for a valid argument about myself remembering my baptism (see post above). However I have many memories of little things as well that our family doesnt discuss because it was just small things... Like the time my grandmother gave me a bottle with juice before I went to bed. I remember puking in my crib .. My parents were just getting home so I started crying when I heard them. My mother came in and asked my grandmother if she gave me anything before bed because that would have made me sick.

No pictures or discussion of that event but it happened. Weird stuff.

how old would you have been? Under 2 would be virtually impossible for humans
