Earliest memories?

What stands out in your mind as being one of your earliest memories? Mine is dancing to Kylie minouge's "the locomotion" when it first came out! What's your earliest memories however obscure?

Biggins

First day of school and me kicking the teacher, wanting to go home.

snubbleste

Some massive gloved hands reaching in to take me away from my comfort zone. I cried and cried.

Pilotdude5

Playing with mala in Playschool. I was 3.

WoollyRedHat

In a pram, looking for a house.


My mother abandoned me, so I had to fend for myself

rolliepoley

hollster2

I remember first day of playschool walking with my dad up the road from my house to it

I still remember what i did the whole day, the smell in the house not bad but of cookies lol

what I ate too I was giving cookies and jelly beans

I also remember trying to escape out the front door for dear life when one of the other children were being collected!

BattleCorp

Getting a new pair of runners. And then going out to race the other kids to see "how fast" my new runners were.

Ah, great times.

Thrawn

Watching the opening of Star Wars in the cinema no movie has ever come close to topping that experience and probably never will. From the 70s to now it it influenced how I see the world of entertainment.

Banjo String

This must be my earliest memory.

Back in the day we used to have a butcher call around in a van (going back to the early eighties here/late seventies)

I recall the butcher asking me how old I was, me telling him (proud as punch) that I was FOUR!

Then he asked what number house I was from, and I clearly remember running the whole way back to my house, looking at the number on the letterbox, running back to him and telling him TWELVE!

I dont seem to have earlier memories than that one.

JupiterKid

Sitting in a high chair and having my mum spooning food into my gob saying "here comes the airplane." I must have been only 2 or so.

I've a really good, lucid long term memory. I can remember playschool and kindergarten very clearly even though they were over three decades ago now.

Very first pop song I can remember was "Hit Me With Your Rythm Stick" by Ian Drury.

Oranage2

Yesterday.

I_smell_fear

My first words: "Hey that man's trying to cut off my penis....oh".

I was 2 or 3 sitting on my dads knee, and I remember thinking "i'll bite his nose'. It seemed like a good idea at the time, so I sunk my teeth in and drew blood.

Next one I remember is seeing my Dad sawing wood out in the garage, and I thought I'd do them both a favour and do some sawing myself as Dad was on a break and left his saw down.
I got the saw and brought it into the living room, where I started sawing the leg off my mothers fireside chair. I really thought I was being helpful! They didn't leave saws lying around after that...

30 years on, and 100's of miles away, but still in a number twelve house!

True bill.

baaah

I can vaguely remember when I saw my first snowfall when I was about 3 or 4. But my earliest memory that has really stuck with me is the time that the Cuban missile crisis was big news (October 1962 ). Plenty of information about this online...scary days.

Lenin Skynard

When Hitler invaded Poland. It was on at the same time as Home and Away so I saw a bit of it during the break.

spankysue

Mine is being bathed in the kitchen sink, must have only been about 13 or 14 at the time....

My earliest memory is of being sat on the child seat on the front of our Silver Cross pram, glaring in at my baby brother, who is 18 months younger than me, so I can't have been more than 2 years old at the time. It was one of those huge old fashioned ones that was really popular in the 70's.

I remember what a freezing winters day it was and thinking that if he wasn't in there I could be snuggled down in there all nice and warm. How I hated him in the early months after his arrival.

Jees I'm 40 now and I can still remember it clearly:)
