Question

mines was when i was two years old laying in some field. good times. what was yours?

Answer 1

My brother had new teeth coming through and I put my finger into his mouth and he bit me - my mum then gave me a weetabix which she had buttered and put jam on - like a sandwich - I have a serious weetabix phobia and I am sure it stems from then

Answer 2

I can remember looking at the doorway and seeing my baby bouncer hanging there, although I don't remember being in it.

A while back my Mum told me she'd put me in the playpen one day, and given me a small hand-mirror to play with while she went out of the room for a minute. When she came back the mirror had gone, and she never found it. She said 'It had a blue back...' and immediately I could see it in my mind, and I said, 'It was shiny, with a gold bit in the middle' and she was amazed. I don't know how old I was when this happened, but must've been pretty young.

I have been thinking about the mirror, and have the faintest possible recollection of poking it down through some black bars, and feeling sorry that it'd gone - I think I might've managed to lean out of the open window and put it down the drain in the back garden. That might be a bit of 'recovered memory syndrome', but I can't think of any other explanation.

Answer 4

Mine was being taken into work by my Grandmother when I was only about 9 months old. I just remember sitting on her desk and playing with paperclips and thumbtacks in an ashtray on her desk.

My Gran couldn't believe I could remember something from being so young, but she had to admit it was true, as she really had an ashtray on her desk when she was a typist and had taken me in to show the other women in the office and had sat me on the desk as she had typed that afternoon!

Answer 5

I don't quite remeber my age but I was probably like 2 or 3. I remember looking through a book. My grandma got it for me and it was special because it was made so it would have my name in it. I loved that book so much and would just sit looking at the pictures and copying out the letters....

Answer 6

i was wrapped in a rainbow blanket, snow everywhere, cold, being pulled from a green car, by my Pa and being taken to a building with lots of lights.
