What is your earliest recollection of your childhood.?

Answer 1

I remember my grandmother giving me a bath in the kitchen sink.

Answer 2

I'm not sure which is the earliest. I can remember a few things from before I was 4. I remember falling down the stairs, me and my sister were climbing up the wall unit and I pushed her off and she cracked her head open on the fish tank, my sister weeing on the telly, making toast on forks infront of the fire, going to the shop with no knickers on! I remember loads of silly things but I can't remember how old I was, I only know I was 4 or less as we moved house when I was 4.

Answer 3

My earliest recollection is when I was three. I was taken to the hospital to see my little baby sister shortly after she was born. This was in the days when babies were taken away from their mums and put in a giant nursery. You could see the babies in their cots through a glass window. My father picked me up and said "That's your little sister" and pointed into the room. I thought he was randomly pointing at any old baby and asked for packet of sweets! A couple of years later, my mother decided to tell me about the facts of life. I thought she was joking when she told me where babies came from, because I had seen with my very own eyes that babies were picked out by their dads from a huge room in the hospital! I was about 8 by the time she managed to convince me that you didn't just turn up at a hospital and chose any old baby you wanted!

Answer 4

One of the earliest memories I have is when I was about 2. I lived near a busy intersection with my mother and grandparents when I was little, and my grandfather was trying to teach her to drive, and we could hear the screeching tires from the kitchen. A few minutes later, my mother and grandfather came in, arguing and I ran to her to be picked up.

Also, same summer, I was trying to chase my grandfather outside, it must have been a Monday, because he always grilled steaks on Mondays, and he had just gone out the storm door, and I went to push it open so I could run out too, only the door had latched and I ended up putting my arm through the door. I still have the scar.

Answer 5

Nursey school, about age 3. I dropped a tub of paper clips. The teacher gave me a magnet to pick them up with, it was the most magical thing i'd ever seen. I think I must have then spent about an hour tipping the paper clips back onto the floor so that I could pick them up again.

Around the same time, Kevin Sharp peed in the sandpit......

Answer 6

My earliest memory is not like the others here. I watched my dad plant a tree in the front yard when I was three. No trauma. No excitement. Just a hole in the ground then a tree. And I have no special attachment to trees now.

boring.

Answer 7

Sitting in an optometrist's chair being tested for poor eyesight (myopia) in a dark room at age three looking at animals on a sheet and the eye doctor kept saying "don't be afraid."

I wasn't afraid at all, and in terms of today my childhood brain thought it was "groovy." Well otherwise nothing to do about it and glasses were prescribed -- have worn them ever since!

Answer 8

it is confusing to maintain long-term thoughts in the previous the age of three. the thought of time to a newborn differs from that of an person. My earliest memory is while i became 4 years previous, and that i became walking interior the lake on the community park. A stranger grabbed me and took me to the police station the place I performed Mr. Potato Head and ate donuts till my mom freaked out and picked me up.

Answer 9

I was 2 and i was out the front of the house playing with my sister i wanted to go back in but when i chapped the door no one answered and the curtain had been taken off the window on the door i freaked out because i thought my parents had moved house and left me when really my mum had taken the curtain down to wash it and she was hoovering and thats why she hadnt heard me at the door i was so traumatised.x

Answer 10

Getting run over aged 3

Answer 11

My sister and I swinging from my Gran's washing line and it snapped, my sister fell onto the grass and I fell onto the path and split my head open and had to go to hospital, I was three. I have a very vague memory of being run over by a go cart when I was 2.
