Being in hospital and talking to a surgeon called Billy who was playing with my teddy frog that sang Christmas songs.

Are those three seperate events? Or were you walking with your sister and dog by the secondary school, when some idiot teenage boy tried to smother you with a pillow and as a result you ended up in hospital?

Had to ask, wasnt sure :cool:.

I remember being pushed off a little wall by by snot nosed cousin when I was about 3...

I was in so much pain they took me to the Doc who said, 'there's nothing wrong with her, she's just looking for attention (I remember thinking, Prat what does he know) ..

After a day or 2 of manouvering around on my arse they took me to a different Doc who confirmed my leg was broken in 2 places..

Eating pennies that were meant to go into the collection basket in Mass. Small coins taste so good when you're two , for some reason.

1972. I'm in my pram looking into the kitchen watching my mother making scones and from my bottle I'm chugging back an orange drink so chemical and sugary that it will be banned for human consuption in 15 years' time by the EU.

I know I'll be having Hoops for tea. Life is good, so far.

Walking home from playschool alone, wouldn't happen now.
I was 3.
I'd been bold and when I was leaving the lady in charge gave me a £1 note and told me "here's a note for your mammy".
I thought it was a note about my boldness so I shoved it down a drain
on the walk home.

I can remember quite alot from playschool and I remember my brother's christening, also when I was 3.

Diabhal Beag · 24-01-2009 09:20PM

I remember my brother kicking me with a roundhouse kick striaght on the nose. I was apparently the 2 year old ever knocked the **** out by a Chuck Norris wannabe.

javaboy · 24-01-2009 09:26PM

Two scumbags repeatedly bouncing my head off a kerb when I was about 3. Good times.

Yeah, three seperate events.

Was about 5 when we were walking the dog.

About ten when that guy tried to smother me.

About 8/9 in the hospital.

being pushed in a pram down to the beach front in scarborough-mind you this was in a passed life -the woman who was pushing me was in victorian clothes and so was the two young ladies with her -further research dates this about the 1850s---

Red Hand · 24-01-2009 09:58PM

I remember being laid down on a blue blanket on the sittingroom floor. I must have been tiny, I don't remember actually moving from the blanket.

I remember my dad holding me in his arms standing on a wall at the graveyard where my grandad (his dad) is buried. It's one of those walls with the steps built in on either side and the gate's always locked. He was pointing at and showing me a plane in the sky - he reckons I was between 6-18 months old at that stage. It was really sunny.

Also remember crawling around my cot in my room, there was a purple carpet and teddy bears on the wallpaper. Probably between 1 and 2 here.

My grandad (mam's side) died when I was 2, just before my brother was born. I remember distinctly watching him drink tea in his chair as I sat on the floor looking up at him. He always drank it with the spoon in the mug

he was very ill for a long time before he died so I must've been quite young.

GirlInterrupted · 24-01-2009 10:24PM

I remember being in hospital and wondering why I didn't recognise the expression on my mothers face. I think it was worry or fear.

Then I was put on a moving bed and wheeled into an operating theatre, and I remember this man telling me that I would go asleep and when I woke up I'd be fine.
I would have been three, so its not that early a memory.

He lied, I was very sore.

civis_liberalis · 24-01-2009 11:12PM

My first memory was Italia 90 and the weeks leading up to it.

Susannahmia · 25-01-2009 12:03AM

I have a lot of memories from relitivly young age. I have loads more but I know that these ones are some of my earliest because my aunt moved to america when I was 19 months and in all of these she was still there.

1. Sitting on my aunts lap and she would hide her face with her hair and play peek a boo, I thought it was great craic.

2. Being angry when my mother put me down for a nap in my cot and climbing out, I walked into the kitchen and only started crying when I saw my mother. She got such a fright that she didn't ever put me in the cot again.

3. Getting a bath in the kitchen sink and puking in the water and being disappointed when my mam took me out.

4. My grandad was doing a crossword and I saw that he was sitting on my special chair. He stood up to get a pen and I took the chair, I then watched him in horror as he went to sit down, I wanted to tell him but I couldn't find the words. He fell and whacked his head and my granny gave out to me for ages!

2 1/2 years old in the Isle of Man swimming complex deciding what I wanted from the vending machine. If only I could reach or have had money or a full set of teeth.

Ah yes... I remember "Aquadrome" which was part of "Summerland" in Douglas. Got the old horse drawn tram along the promenade to it.

And the other place that closed down, up the hill around the corner from it... "something city?".... had a huge slide and you just paid once and could continue running up and down the slide with the canvas sack and slide down until your lungs hurt and you collapsed with exhaustion. ( would've been late 1970s / early 80's )

I've had past life regression, so my earliest memory is of being chased by saber tooth tiger through a forest on mainland Europe.

Jesus Juice · 25-01-2009 01:42AM

Sitting watching My bro play Sonic in our old council house in Blanchardstown!!..i was about 2/3 and i was angry cause i wanted to watch power rangers.

pq0n1ct4ve8zf5 · 25-01-2009 01:47AM

Sitting in my high chair trying to talk. I remember being really frustrated because I could understand everyone else but they couldn't understand me. Someone was talking to me (my mother I think) and I kept trying to talk back and she just was not getting it, so I started bawling. The bitch probably knew exactly what I was saying too.
Edit: Actually, how early a memory is that?? What age do babies start talking?

hannah-j · 25-01-2009 02:04AM

I can't remember,

but the earliest dream I can remember was when Gary Barlow was lighting fireworks on my landing because it was my birthday and he gave me a polly pocket as a present.

Twinkle-star15 · 25-01-2009 02:57AM

Sulking at my aunt's wedding because I wanted to be flowergirl! I was soooo jealous of my cousin

. I remember my aunt promising me around the same time that I could be flowergirl at her wedding. I think I was 2 at the time... I have a lot of memories of being around 2 or 3!
