Answer 1

I can remember as far back as four.

here's the trick: I feel no different at 50 than what i did at 10

Answer 2

I have a super incredible memory (or everyone says) when it comes to my childhood. I always say my childhood couldnt have been better, still believe it too. I remember the day my grandfather died when I was 3, not cuz it was traumatizing or anything, I just remember being overwhelmed with all the people that were trying to explain it to me in a way that I would understand when I already understood! I remember waiting at the harbor for my dad when he was returning from overseas b/w ages of 3-6. I remember toddler sunday school at church just because there was this navajo Indian guy that worked there that I was especially fond of and couldnt wait to see. When we were toddlers my dad bought my sister and I these rainbow sets of Osh Gosh corduroy overalls and he would carry us around by the backs of them. lol......and I just remember constantly feeling like I was flying cuz he would pick me up and move me around. I'd say 7 and 8 are a little foggier for some wierd reason....but age around 9 and 10 I can remember mostly everything. Sometimes i'll point out locations when we are driving and i'll be like "Hey mom remember when we went there for ______" and her mouth drops open in disbelief.....and most the time no one believes that I remember until I pull a really hard-core detail out of my memory or mention something that I could have never known unless I really truly remember it, and even then my mom will run and check the scrapbooks for the exact day and month that things happened because she cant believe that a 2 or 3 year old can remember these things.

Answer 3

I remember various moments throughout my life. I can remember birthdays around age 5. I can remember playing with my older sister around that same time. We were good friends then. To fully answer your question would take more space than YA has to offer or that my fingers can pound out on this here keyboard, but, all in all, I've had a very good life, with it's ups and downs here and there. Funny how it seems to be getting better too. Hmmmm. God Bless you.

Answer 4

I remember one memory when I was 10 years old. Back in the day, I always play Goldeneye 007 and Perfect Dark on the N64. Oh those were the good old days :). (sigh) Too bad I don't have a N64 right now because my older brother gave it away to one of my cousins :(. Oh well. Some day I might buy a N64 and continue to enjoy the games that I once enjoyed.

Answer 5

Yes, I remember when I was a child. We use to live in a small town and I remember feeling very free and safe because I knew I could ask anyone for help if I got in trouble. Most everybody knew us and our parents. I lived outside of town and there were hills and caves and my brothers and I used to roam freely, and play and run and walk long distances. I used to feel safer and freer than I do now.The memories I have are of always running, jumping, playing, climbing trees....we were always moving. And no one ever said we were hyperactive. Thank you for bringing those thoughts back to me again.

Answer 6

Of course.
I was happy until I had to go to school. Lol
I remember simply suffering since nothing was of any interest to me, until I discovered the libraries.
Now, after that, school was more palatable.

Answer 7

Hell no! I can't even remember where my keys are half the time.
