Your earliest memory
My dear friend Nicola yesterday celebrated the arrival of a new little baby sister.  It got me randomly pondering - what's the earliest memory you have of your own existence?
I recollect one day when I was simmering in my pram while my dad and sister were rolling me over to see my mum, who at the time was working in a local shop. My dad was pushing the pram along and then at one point (adjacent to The Maltings pub, as i recall) my sister asked if she could help roll it along. I distinctly remember the mild jolts as i was wheeled over the cobbled bits 
Your turn now! Delve deep into your mind and reveal your first memory!!  |

Honestly, I think my earliest memory was age 3 - 4.
It was of my dad ironing clothes while I played with my brother.
Or maybe it was at my grandmothers house.
I remember my parents divorce when I was 4.
I remember our parrot flying away when I was 4-5.
I remember going to dance class at 4.
There's a whole bunch of them, but I don't know what was first...  |

my earliest memory is telling my sister to go and get me a tea towel, which my mum had asked me to get, i called her baby though she was (technically, i don't see two minutes as older) older than me, and i was told off as my mum had asked me to get it. I don't know when this was, but it's my earliest memory..

maybe if i think for some time i will get an earlier one, but right now i think it's with 2, in a little baby-bed at the hospital asking myself why i couldn't go to the srteet playground, and crying because my parents weren't allowed to be there (fucking nurses!).
i was operated for hernia.

I was about 22 months (age confirmed with my mum!) but I was def under two. It was on a family holiday & we stayed in this really cool hotel. It was one of those houses where not only is there an downstairs & an upstairs but on each level there were also steps on the landings. You'd go up a step into some of the rooms & down a step into others. I just remember thinking how cool it was & how much fun & exciting I found it!!
Another memory from the same age is getting on a train. I remeber being scared of the gap between the platform & the train even though my dad was holding my hand tightly!! |

Most of my memories before the age of 10 are in hospitals, but my very very earliest one is going to stay in a house somewhere in what, due to the presence of certain Jamirotalkers, I shall call the Spanish Peninsula (southern Catalunya, I think). One of my dad's clients (he's a bank manager) had just set up a business out there.
I remember the house because the bedrooms were downstairs, and the kitchen / living-room area was upstairs.
I was talking to my mum about that memory last year and she was absolutely amazed that I could remember it - I was six or seven months old at the time!

i was 2 and half years old and had to stay in that kindergarden in vienna...i hate spinach..and they forced me to eat it! 2 of that kindergartenteachers were around me   ..one holding me the other one putting that awful food into my mouth ...u can imagine what happened after..  ..my new dress 
afterwards i was locked into a little room where the things for cleaning were kept.  ..i remember knocking at that door and screaming   ..but nobody let me out...
i never could eat spinach again and i wanted to become kindergartenteacher to be a better one for the kids i will have in my group

I slipped at the top of the stairs and remember my mother screaming to my father to catch me, as I rolled down the stairs like a snowball..... 
I was about 2 years old, and had a scar on my right eye for years!

That's horrible Sandriche!!! I hope you were sick all over that teacher's dress, hair and in her coffee cup!
That can be really very disturbing for a child! 
You make a great kindergarten teacher

Oh dear!! Hahaha! I rolled down the staircase once as well (however i was more like a swiss roll than a snowball), although i think i was perhaps 3 at the time. For some reason it seemed quite thrilling, and once i reached the bottom i just stood up and plodded away unhurt... i was a hardy little bugger at the time
Although i must say - it's very strange now to sit on the staircase and think that once upon a time i could actually lie down and fit on one of the steps  |
