What is your earliest memory?

I can remember my crib too. I loved to see the streetlight out the window. I remember family walks around the block from my stroller. I also heard ghosts whispering in my parents' bedroom in this house we lived in. Later they told me it was the 'scary room'!

I remember bit and parts too. One thing that does stand out is this: We were living in a small town. I have 3 older sisters and 2 older brothers, basically I am the youngest of 6. Anyway. My oldest brother had to go down to Dairy Queen (probably about 1971) and was going to get us all ice cream cones. Well, as far as I was concerned he was taking too long, so I slipped away and went looking for him. I got all the way down to Dairy queen (5 block away) and he wasn't there-took a different way home-So I asked the guy behind the counter if my brother had been there and he said yes and that I just missed him. He must have noticed I was sad because he gave me a free vanilla ice cream cone. In the mean time everyone was looking for me. So I walked back home and when I got into my front yard everyone came running out happy that I was back and I dropped my ice cream cone on the lawn. I cried. My mom wiped my tears and she said that is ok honey, we have one in the freezer waiting for you. Happy ending.\n\nThis incident has always reminded me of a song called the "Ice cream cone song". Ask your parents or grandparents about it.

Laying in the crib with my twin sister.  I was probably 2 years old but limited or no vocabulary.  I remember waking up - I may have had a nightmare - seeing her laying there next to me and having a great sense of contentedness.\n\nAlso when I was two, I remember getting stung by a bee and having my mom care for me.  She placed me in front of the television to watch Jetsons and waited on me with some tasty snacks.  I remember liking having her baby me.

My childhood is such a blurr, I only remember certain things..........It was a depressing one that I think I chose to forget.....I remember my father never being around, he left when I was 9 months old, I have 2 older brothers......I remember ugly custody battles........3 days a week me and my 2 brothers were at the pshychiatrists office..........I latched on to the first guy I met, and moved out of that house at 16 and purposely got pregnant, I ended up miscarrying.........I then packed up and moved to Florida looking for a new life only to get wrapped up in drugs.......I'm over all that now.........Thank God, I'm grown up now!!!!!!!!\nIf I could change anything about it, I wouldn't change a thing........I have learned so much about people it's unreal, I learned that sometimes water is alot thicker than blood!!!!

Actually, I remember things best if I can verbalize them.  I am pretty good at remembering things regardless if I hear them or see them, but when I actually repeat it outloud I usually remember it much more.  I guess that's why when I was a student I always had my hand in the air!

I had the Chicken Pox when I was 2(that's very young to get them). I remember it well. After that, no memories until I was 4. It must have been the traumatic experience. It makes sense now that I hear about yours.

I have a lot but the one that stands out is when I was about 4 or 5.  I had chicken pox and I can remember my mom kneeling at me and dabbing calamine lotion on my pox.  It means a lot to me because she passed away 5 years ago and a couple of years before that, we had problems.  As simple as this memory is, it showed how much she loved me.

Memories that call up emotions, sensations, or other memories.\n\nFor instance, recalling your 7th grade Science Fair may bring back that godforsaken "Wheels Of the Bus" song because you had to listen to it for 4 hours on the way to the Fair.  It could also "bring back" the smell of watermelon gum, because someone put it in your seat and you sat in it on accident and had it stuck on you for the rest of the day.

I know most people would have a really good memory... But there is a reason that this is the last thing I can remember. I think I was about 5-6 years old, I was at Old Orchard Beach in Maine, with my family for our annual summer trip there, and me and my cousin were on the ferris wheel, well don't ask me just quite how this happened, but I guess I was leaning over as the operator was lifting the bar up and over our heads, well as I was leaning over and waving to my dad with a huge smile on my face, I leaned a little too far. We were still about 2 feet up in the air, and just like that, I got tipped out of the ferris wheel seat. I was a little banged up to begin with, but to add onto that, I had split my head not only on one of the wires, but also on a few pieces of metal beside the wire. All I can really remember after that was my older sister Michelle, was coming towards me with Fried Dough she had bought for me, and she just looked at me in total awe, (while me not know what the hell was going on) , and just dropped her food and ran towards me. My dad was the first one who actually helped me up, while the operator just sat there in shock!  After that I don't really remember much. But when I ask my dad now, he told me when he went to go help me up, he put his arm under my legs then placed his hand on my head to steady me, then looked at his hand and at the same time, the both of us saw blood, and I mean not just a little blood, then i passed out. The next thing I remember was being in the ER and the doctor telling me to count backwards from 100... my dad said I barely even got to ninety-nine, and I was out. Well to end my mumbling on and on about this, I had 12 stitches put in my head, and the rest of my vacation I spent in the room, with my dad, while everyone else (my mother, 2 sisters, aunts, uncles, and cousins) went lounging on the beach.\n\nNo, to this day I refuse to go on a ferris wheel.
