What is your earliest childhood memory?

Question

My boyfriend always laughs and says mine was childbirth cause I have this memory, at least I think it's a memory, of my mother and my aunt and my sister standing over me and my sister saying "why can't she see us" and my mom saying "babies can only see shadows for a while". Is this wierd or what?

Answer 1

My Mom reading to me, singing nursery rhymes.

Most of all, I remember her taking me just outside our back door in Phoenix (when it was a village in the middle of the desert) to watch the magnificent, awe-inspiring and powerful thunder 'n lightening storms form ... and then roll across the open desert.

When the wind picked up, we could literally smell the rain coming on the pure desert air! I think if God has a scent, it is that of approaching rain in a summer storm.

There was no big city to affect the course of wind, so it ran fast and hard, and made dust devils (like miniature tornadoes) that picked up everything that wasn't nailed down. The tumbleweeds would zoom past us like cars on a speedway.

Those were such powerful memories that I passed the same experiences on to my kids .. and their kids ... none of them are afraid of storms; instead, we are awed by the beauty and power of nature.
