Whats your earliest memory?

AckwelFoley · 12-03-2008 02:47AM #1

I can remember taking my first steps..

Crawling over to the edge of the wardrobe and walking those few steps and whack.. off the floor..

I can also remember when i was scared senceless of when Bill Bixby would change into the Incredible hulk, i was certainly no more than 3 or 4 years old.

First day in school, i remember that very vividly. I do recall one girl taking a poop on the floor across from me... I seen her only very recently - i didnt remind her of it.. thought it best not to!

So.. the year was around 1979 - 80 ish

Probably wise. She might've f*cked her drink over you.

I was scared of Supergran for some reason, used to hide under the table when it came on (think Billy Connolly done the theme tune).

Counting bottle caps in the plastic trays from Mikado biscuits in babeh infants also.

Is that a typo? Should it be something to do with rimming?

I remember sitting on my Uncle's lap in my Grannies house. Just fidgeting about with a hammer while he, my mum and my gran were chatting. I then whacked my thumb with it and started bawling, and my mum came over to comfort me. Thats as far bacas I go, Im pretty sure it predates my other early memory of knocking over 1 of 2 black porcelain cats my mum had on the hall dresser.

open your mind dude

my first memory is realising that my thoughts are my own. before, i use to think what ever i was thinking, my mam would know about.

then one day i had a bad thought and she didnt say anything about it.
i think i got the wodden spoon for actually doing it after.

happy days.

my earliest memory is going under in our local pool & going all woozy (aka almost drowning) during a momentary lapse of parenting.

Happy memories!

Femelade · 12-03-2008 10:59AM

My neighbour throwing my dinkies at a wall..

Insect Overlord · 12-03-2008 11:14AM

I went to a child-minder's place until I was about a year and a half old (ie, until shortly after my brother was born and the mammy decided to mind us herself

) Anywho, I remember being carried out the front door the last time I was in the house and there was a black and green "hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil" ornament (three chimps on a green base). Obviously I didn't understand what the symbol meant at the time, but I can still see it almost 18 years on!

watna · 12-03-2008 11:14AM

Going on a school trip when I was in playschool. I was all exctied because I was going in my friends cars, one of those estate cars with the giant boots you could sit in. She had cushions in the back and me and my bro were so excited about it... I must have been 3/4.

Other early memory involves me puking all over the table in Junior Infants. It was art time and I puked over peoples pictures. I blamed my aunt because she'd been over the night before and given me loveheart sweets!

Sidneykidney... that's a really lovely memory. Very touching.

Rob_l · 12-03-2008 11:16AM

I can't even remember the start of this thread!

I think my earliest memory is from when I was one twoish but to be honest Im not sure how clear these memories are my younger sister always brings up these old memories she has that never happened I know I was around when these things were supposed to have happened I think she has watched too much Tv and infused that with her life

LadyJ · 12-03-2008 11:37AM

I remember lying down in my pram (you know those lie-down style prams) and being really uncomfortable but I don't think I could talk much at that stage so I just remember crying a lot and then I must have fallen asleep.

gcgirl · 12-03-2008 11:39AM

My first day at school when i ran out of the class and ran after my granny spent the next 14 years trying to do the same!

Sleepy · 12-03-2008 11:46AM

I remember my sister's baptism which happened when I was 1 and 11 months. Can remember crawling around the pews and my older cousins egging me on.

sometimes i say oh remember the time...blah blah..and then im like no wait was that a dream?? or somethin i seen, similar to your sister....very annoying. i dont know if it actual happened or not....i get memories of me doing things and there so clear but i dont know where they come from.

i also remember things like playschool and school very diff to what they actually looked like.... like i remember them being in a different place....strange...maybe there memories from my past life ha!

claret · 12-03-2008 01:15PM

I was about 2 years old, living in England at the time, and a bird flew in through my bedroom window. I remember being hysterical and running to get someone to comfort me! Then my dad got rid of it for me. My hero!!!!!:D

Krieg · 12-03-2008 01:19PM

Hah, me and my mates were talking about this last night.

My earliest memory was when I was still a baby, really early in the morning, in my cot, throwing my teddys at the window, then calling mum in so she would collect the teddys and give them back to me.Then I would repeat the process over.
No idea why I even have a memory of it

seamus · 12-03-2008 01:23PM

My absolute earliest memory is telling another kid to f*ck off when I was around two years old. Next memory after that is my first day of school. I remember the girl that I sat beside. Ended up in college with her years later.

Susannahmia · 12-03-2008 01:29PM

I think I'm a bit strange as I can remember lots of things from my early years very clearly. I think my earliest memory was of climbing out of my cot at eighteen months, I can even kind of remember what I was thinking, my mother said she got such a fright that she never put me back in it again.:D

I can recall playschool perfectly and my first years of primary school are a doddle to remember. Pity my short term memory isn't as good.:rolleyes:

deisemum · 12-03-2008 01:29PM

I remember standing alongside a pram that my baby brother was in and holding his bottle upright while he was drinking from it. I was just gone 2 1/2
at the time and that was over 40 years ago.

I have other memories but I don't know if they're from seeing photos and then thinking I can actually remember the event. I have a photo of when I was just about 1 year old and I'm sitting upright in the pram outside the front door for my daily "airing". I've been told on one of these occasions a hen walked up the path and hopped in to the pram and I bawled. :eek:

Creature · 12-03-2008 01:35PM

I remember having a nose bleed in play school and the teacher gave out to me because I 'let' the blood go all over a picture I was supposed to be drawing

Raspberry · 12-03-2008 01:36PM

I remember being in the fish tank that they put babies in when they're just born.

Proky · 12-03-2008 01:39PM

Find that slightly hard to believe.
So you mean an incubator? Was there something wrong with you?

RedXIV · 12-03-2008 01:47PM

No, not the incubator. The glass cot that they put you in. I remember looking up and seeing see through walls around me.

Ginny · 12-03-2008 02:49PM

I used to stand up in the cot and throw myself over the bars onto my parents bed, then sneak in and sit behind my dads seat and watch tv.Mum says I was about 1 and a half at the time.

Rasberry newborns are extremely nearsighted, I'd wager its not a proper memory.

Whats your earliest memory?
