What is your earliest human memory?

[Richie]

My earliest human memory was when I was around six years old, I was playing on the road with glass and I remember going into my house and my mam screaming at me because my hands were bleeding. I’m not quite sure why but I can’t remember crying.


What's yours?

running away from home at 3-4 years old. just wanted an adventure. cant remember any of it apart from running to the top of a hill and looking down at the road and then getting breakfast the next morning from a nice lady who phoned the police.

I can remember early thoughts that arn't rly significant such as when I was like 2/3 I was sitting on my stairs thinking to myself I gotta go to nursery soon and then hopped into my mums bed to watch a disney video.
I remember quite a lot. Even things my parents forgot about.

[Absently]

eh i dunno which came first, and i dunno if i remember it from people telling me, but i remember when my aunt was holding me and she was in her dressing gown and bringing me down the stairs, i don't remember when she slipt and me landing on my leg, but i remember looking into their sitting room from the end of the stairs and seeing my cousins friend

i also remember when my auntie was painting the door and i ran out from her garden 'cus my cousins were walking down to my other cousins house to see her new paddling pool and i'm guessing i felt left out. i remember running into the road, but don't remember being knocked down etc. i remember the car journey to the hospital in my uncles red car and my aunt shouting at me to not goto sleep and kept trying to talk to me but i went to sleep anyway :D

it's funny how they're probably my earliest memories and they're the most horrible for me.. weird.

most people only remember stuff if they were a significant event in your life especially memories when you were younger, i read somewhere that children find it harder to lay down memories so rely on what they've heard or only remember if it was traumatic or a long lasting effect etc. sorta the same like you won't remember what you ate the other day because it's not exactly a big deal:P

[lawrawrrr]

My earliest memory is of my 4th birthday cake - a gingerbread house (my mum makes like professional-style cakes). I will see if I can dig out a pic!

[Caution]

4 years old, sitting on my primary 1 teacher's knee cause I was crying, didn't want to go to school. :P

[Wig44.]

My parents taking a picture of me at a picnic, apparently I was ~1 year at the time.

[Samantha]

My Mum being on the top of the stairs and she was getting some clothes and didn't know I was behind her. Her bum hit me and I fell down the stairs and I was a crumpled heap because we had a safety gate at the bottom.

[Casanova]

when i was three i think.
I was at the park in spring and a baby frog jumped on my then my mum. I was hysterical and starting jumping on it. I've never cried so much nor felt so ashamed.

PS: people saying they have memories before 3 is highly unlikely. Children only develop a long term memory around 34-38 months :rolleyes:.

[Jordan]

Only early thing I can remember is getting my head stuck in a trianglar window in nursery. And theres one when im in my nans garden in a paddling pool. I'm not sure which ones older but that's as far back as I can think!

[dbgtz]

putting my shoes on the wrong feet then getting in a push chair just to go to my next door neighbours house. ~3 years old I'd imagine.

[Rozi]

My earliest fully formed memory which I know hasn't sprung from like a picture or recollection of events was my dad moving his stuff out cause I remember asking if I could keep his business card holder which had little pop up ducks on it but he said no but said he'd look after it especially carefully for the rest of his life.

but I do also remember sitting in my cot with both my parents in the room which is really weird

and sneaking into my dad's room when I was little



All my earliest memories include my dad in some way :o

[Shar]

5 years old, my 5th birthday party with all my family there.

[Oleh]

Hmm. My cousin hitting me in the face with a golfclub when i was 5. I would have presumed that to be remembered as it was full whack.

[GirlNextDoor15]

I have no idea. I have lots of memories and I don't know how old I am. Most of them were bad memories. So, I don't bother to talk about it.

[brandon]

Getting told off when I was 4

[wixard]

i'd have to have been at max 3
i was being pushed up my block in a stroller and the sun was going down
no idea why that memory stuck with me

the second would have been age 4 going over my handlebars and smashing my teeth
my memory of it is lying on the ground for sooo long while people ran around trying to find my parents
but my mum says she came out straight away? dunno whos memory is right

[Recursion]

I remember electrocuting myself at like... 3 years old because I used to take the sockets off the wall LOL. Then I also remember cracking my head open when I was play fighting at Centre Parcs when I was like... 4 or 5.

[sophiethenerd]

People deviate from the norm.
