Your First Memory?

McGarnagle92 · 11-06-2011 06:38PM #1

I was having a chat with some friend last night about our first memories.
We all proceeded to go around the room and they all had one from being ages 3-8.
I thought this was crazy, I can't remember anything in particular from even a few weeks ago.
Do you have one?

Standing in pram.
Pram rolls back.

Head meets iron gate.
Blood everywhere

Screams.

A woman running down the front path with her hands over her mouth (neighbor I think - might be my ma).

My finger was caught in the door but I couldn't feel anything. Then the door opens and I start to ball my eyes crying.

Still have the scar from when the top of my finger was crushed. Luckily it healed and no permanent damage

My next door neighbours back door gave falling on me when i was a nipper and my mam having a panic attack.

cocoshovel · 11-06-2011 06:54PM

Fell asleep on the way to my grandmother's, I woke up in the car parked outside her house. I was alone and strapped into the baby seat, began bawling my eyes off for what felt like an eternity until my parents came back.
No idea what age I was but I must of been young since I was trapped in a baby seat.

sunflower27 · 12-06-2011 09:32AM

Mine was either my third birthday and I was on the verandah of our house eating ice cream out of a little bowl with a matching spoon I had got as a gift.

I remember my mum coming out the door and I was sitting there, legs dangling, scoffing the ice cream.:pac::pac::pac:

Balmed Out · 12-06-2011 09:49AM

Going swimming. I remember going through blue cubicle doors, walking on a cement / concretey floor and the water being freezing. At the end of the pool there was a big high diving board and I remember being very scared of it. It was in the lee baths in Cork, a big outdoor pool, it closed when I was 3 so I was probably three.

The taste of amniotic fluid and beating up my twin in utero.

Lorrs33 · 12-06-2011 09:59AM

I was about two years old, I woke up in my cot, took one look around the dark room and started crying. The babysitter came up and took me downstairs to the sitting room with my brother and sister.

applejam · 12-06-2011 09:59AM

Being 3yrs old and cycling my tricycle down the side of our house, I remember it had a yellow seat

Kevin Duffy · 12-06-2011 10:43AM

Being 3 and sneaking away from my mother to get on my sister's tricycle to hit the road to my granny's gaff. 3 miles on some pretty busy roads and any adults that stopped to ask if I was ok, I just told them I was fine thanks and where I was going. I got biscuits and milk and my da came and collected me in the car after work, so totally great day out for me.

SharpshooterTom · 12-06-2011 11:31AM

Attempting to sleep in my brothers cot which I did successfully before being pull out by my dad.

Aged 18 months old.

I'd say she was. If you had scolded yourself she'd have been is a bit of trouble

Funnily enough, my twin used to climb into my cot all the time. Also, that's my first memory.

phasers · 12-06-2011 11:58AM

It's not very clear, but it's from when I was 4.

We were on holiday in Wales and my brother's tooth fell out there and the Josephine (that was the tooth fairy's name in our house) left an English pound under his pillow. I remember us all standing around staring at it wondering what it was.

Seloth · 12-06-2011 06:03PM

Being in a pram with the water cover over cause it was raining and going down Patrick's street in Cork.

I can remember the cover being all bubbly with water and lots and lots of legs.

HalloweenJack · 12-06-2011 07:00PM

My first memory is of my mother taking me to see someone speak at the Royal Hotel in Bray. I just remember going through the entrance and playing with some other kids inside.

When I told my mother about a while back, she told it was on International Women's Day in 1991 so I was a few weeks short of my third birthday. That seems pretty early.
