Earliest memory?

[Inseriousity.]

When I was around 3-4, I opened the door and walked out (my parents were upstairs) with my uncle (he's got Down Syndrome so he's not exactly the responsible adult!). We walked around all night and in the morning, some lady saw us and gave us breakfast and she called the police and the police van came and I cried cos I thought I was going to be arrested but we just played tag in the police corridors and then my parents collected us. end of memory.

But an earlier one isn't really a memory, more an association. I was about 2 when my nana died but everytime I see 'branston pickles' or w/e they're called, I remember my nana because she loved them! I think I must remember the smell.

My old old house, it was night and a fire engine went down the road. I just remember the flash blue light going past the window.

Same old house, and my first memory of snow. I liked watching it come down from the sky.

And finally I remember my ball going over the fence and realising it was lost because next door had very unfriendly dogs

I must have been about 3-4 because we moved when I was 5.

Oooh when I was in nursery and we were playing sleeping beauty in the sand pit. I had to pretend to be asleep and then this girl, who I hated, decided to pour sand in my eyes when I opened them .

oh yeah, i have loads of memories from nursery. what age do you go there

I think it's 2 or 3 isn't it?

I also remember having the same dream over and over again when I was little that I was somersaulting/flying down the stairs in my old house.

I remember when I was four my mum and dad had gone out for the evening leaving me and my sister with the baby sitter.

Anyway after we were put to bed I decided to go and wake my sister up and get her to join me in a game this game involved us standing at the top of the stairs whilst we spat down into the hall trying to aim for the baby sitters shoes.. I actually got it on target a few times

i remember my granddad picking me up from nursery, was a nice treat, only saw him a couple of times a year :] was watching a film and i got to go home early, yay

I also remember being like 2/3 when I was lost in the centre of town and saw a women that looked a bit like my mum on the other side of the street so decided just to run across the road in front of a bus.. soon to be saved by my dad who as it turned out was actually standing right behind me lol

being like 3 years old and being out in the snow, like 4 foot of it.... and then getting in my push chair.. it's a really random memory i don't know why but seeing as i'm in a pusher but can still walk i'm probably around that age

um, and then probly the scariest earliest memory would be, being about 4 and on my bike going down the street racing the other kids, and i like went in a pot hole and flewwwwww over the handlebars and cracked my teeth, and everyone was like around me a bunch of 5 year olds while i was screaming crying... then i gotta go in an ambulance

is that weird? do people remember earlier times than that?

Yeah any that I have are extremely random. They're almost just snapshots rather than actually doing something. Like I remember various scenes of a couple of my dad's pubs, and I remember standing out in the yard at my grandparents' farm when I went to visit them in Ireland, must have been my first time seeing them. I've also got various ones from my favourite house from when I was little. I always seem to assume I was 4 years old in the memories as well, dunno why.

I think it's 2 or 3 isn't it?

I also remember having the same dream over and over again when I was little that I was somersaulting/flying down the stairs in my old house.

You reminded me of a dream I remember having loads when I was little too! Would take ages to explain though lol.
