Earliest Memories?

Earliest Childhood memory
Since a trip down memory lane is always fun, I'm posing a question to my audience: What is your earliest memory? Or most significant early memory from childhood?

My earliest memory is a mish mash of probably two different events. We were living in the trailer park in downtown Dundalk - when my sister was born. I'm riding my tricycle (red and yellow with stupid stabilisers,parents never had any confidence in me) in front of our cream and rust caravan and Dad is shoveling snow. Little me thinks that it would be a great idea to cycle into the back of Dads legs,dad thinks otherwise and hates me forever more
What about you?

Mexixo World Cup 86, I remember the Maradona "Hand of God Goal", but only because of the "spiders" on the pitch. Next time you see the goal you will know what I am on about: Big shadows of floodlights or something, round with a number of things extending. There are two of them as far as I know.

I was born in Nov '79, so I think that was a pretty early memory.

Oh, my first day in school, my brother came in and sat down beside me, he was 2!

My earliest memory is of my family getting a new car when i was 3, around the same time Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait and i remember my parents going on about it. I also remember very vaguely 1989 when my cousin was born. Not bad when you consider i was 2yrs and a bit.

My earlist memory is of my ould fella coming back from the Lebanon in 1986... I think it was in McKee barracks, maybe Collins. All the army families were there waiting for various dads and husbands to arrive home. I was about 4 years old at the time.

When i was three, I went to visit my grand uncle in hospital with my dad and uncle. On the way in they were talking about how he was on deaths door and he wasint going to last long. When we got there, my dad and uncle were going on about how well he looked and how he was going to get better and all that stuff, then out of know where i said "Your going to die arent you".
I can remember saying that like it was yesterday, just looking up at the guy waiting for an answer.

To this day anytime i see my uncle he always reminds of that day, and that was 17 years ago.

I can remember being about 1 and looking up from one of those lie-down prams at my granny who was taking me for a walk I suppose. Only thing I really remember about it was that I couldn't talk much and it was so uncomfortable but there was **** all I could do about it! :rolleyes:

I can't remember my age exactly, I must have been only 1 or 2, but I remember coming down to the kitchen in my pajamas after an afternoon nap, all my aunties and some cousins were there and they were saying "happy birthday" to me, I hadn't a clue what was going on, I didn't know what a birthday was.
