what was your first ever memory,and how old were you.?

Question

I remember sitting in the little plasic, pale blue, baby bath with my sister and hitting her on the head with the rattle that i had to take back after she took it off me.Theirs only 18 months between us and she was only about 4 month old at that time so i must of been less than 2yrs old.But they say ,you dont usually remember anything under the age of 3yrs old.I even remember the house into detail,wall paper,furniture ETC but we left the house as i turned 3yrs,my mum was shocked by this.What about you.

Answer 1

I was around 18 months old - i was in my cot or playpen i remember looking out and seeing my mother walk out the door waving and crying (this was the day she walked out on my dad and I) Like you i remember the wall paper - mums hair style and the door - as well as the bars on the cot or playpen - told my dad he thought i was having him on till i described my mum and the wall paper.

Answer 2

I think it would have to be when I was about two years old, and my parents and I were moving to a new house. I can sort of remember a rolled up carpet in the living room, but I don't know why it would be rolled up, because we didn't take it with us!

Other than that, my first true memory would be my 3rd birthday party. I had a bouncy castle and it rained all day long. I remember being very upset!

Answer 3

My first memory was the family moving house when I was 5. Most people do not get an ability to remember till they are 4 or 5. (Though there are exceptions to this.) The way to ascertain whether it is a planted or real memory is to try to picture the image in your mind. If you are in that image then it is a planted image. As image memory will only recall what you physically saw and you will never be in the image.

Answer 4

No idea how old I was, I'm guessing around about 2. My family were having Sunday lunch and I was sat facing the window in my highchair. They were too noisy/busy to notice I was laughing. I could see the dog was in the pond and knew he wasn't meant to be there. I think that would be the first time I felt smug as I knew something important they didn't! When my family realised, my Dad went rushing out f*ing and blinding at the dog. Good times lol.

Answer 5

When I was 2 i cut my fingertips off in the spokes of my brother's bike. I dont remember that happening but my first memory is of the seat of a VW beetle, on the way to hosptial. It was blue vinyl with ridges in it and little intents throughout it. It is a very vivid memory and recently I had a boyfriend that was a Beetle enthusiest - when I saw the seat of his car the whole memory was so real - kind of wierd. It made me very nervous and uneasy.

They sewed my fingertips back on in the hopsital but had to keep me in overnight. I remember crying as I saw my parents walking out of the hospital and I remember being terrified that they would never come for me. There was an older boy in the bed opposite me. He was lying on top of the bed, wearing stripey pyjamas. I can remember my tears acted like magnifying glasses in my eyes and made his feet big and distorted which freaked me out even more!!!

Answer 6

I remember stading in the cradle, and watching the jeep come and pick my dad up. I can describe the house, and we dont have pictures of it either. My dad says I was around one and half years old then. I too, remember some dreams that I have seen when I was a child, but for the life of me, i cant remember what i studied few minutes back.

Answer 7

I remember moving house: @2.1/2 years old
Ther was only about 2 miles between them, so the furniture got to go in the van and I had to walk with my mum and big brother, with me pushing this enormous toy SilverCross pram.

Answer 8

My earliest memory is the day my brother was born. I was 2. I remember being at the hospital and looking down at him in his little bed. I remember lots of flowers in the room. I remember people telling me I had a baby brother. I remember then shopping with my father and people telling us congratulations....

Answer 9

I remember walking along a beach when I was about 3yrs old

Answer 10

The doctor examining my mum when she was expecting my sister. She knows I am telling the truth because I described the examination room exactly. My sister is 22 months younger than me.
