Your First Memory?

Sitting at the table in the kitchen watching my mother cook porridge.

Being in a white cot in the box-room and my 3 year old sister in a blue one next to me, that means I was 1. Also remember baths in the kitchen sink must have been up to about 2. First day of school is as clear in my memory today as it was back then too.

Getting a cyst out of my throat aged 2, then getting a horrific sunburn on a sunbed in Sicily about a month later.

Then a long, long gap to my first day at school.

My dad coming down the stairs with a big 18 wheeler toy truck for my third birthday

Memories are just constructs of a few keyword events. I can remember falling down the stairs when I was younger but even the image your imagination thinks up when you read this is about as viable as my 'memory'. Me - Young - top of stairs - six am - falling. Then my mind just thinks it up. I can't think of any details about the scenario at all really. Hell, I mightn't have fallen down the stairs at all! Someone could have just told me that I did when I was seven, and now, several years later I can't remember them telling me but I can 'remember' falling down the stairs.

I'm a horrible pedant and I'm in a horribly philisophical mood; or as it was once put: "I feel like I'm going to walk around for the rest of the day asking questions like, 'why should i get up?' and 'define "dinner."'"

Three levels of quotation! :eek:

Billy Joel and Uptown Girl on the radio while I was standing up my cot.

Or watching a load of adults crowded around looking in at me in the pram, I'm not sure which was first.

I have a good few memories from playschool when I was 3/4, including learning the irish for wardrobe (cofra), singing xmas songs (and meeting santa), that apple game from halloween and being bitten by another kid cause I was playing with whatever she wanted. I also have a rather strange memory of watching home and away with the mother from about the same time.

I can remember being around 2 years old, sitting in the back seat of my grandad's Datsun 120Y, staring down at the road through a tiny hole in the floor. I've no idea why I can remember this.

The Millennium celebrations around New Years' Eve 1987, so when I was three and a half

I remember waking up in some stables somewhere with all these weird bearded looking hippy dudes standing over me. Kinda freaked out but the bitches left me some gold, frankincense and mir which I proceeded to buy pop tarts with :pac:

Standing up in what I now know to be a classroom of leaving cert students, all of whom at the time seemed like actual giants, as my Mum (who is a maths teacher) was shouting at some guy for disobedience.

She used to pick my sister and I from primary school at 12pm on Fridays and we would spend the rest of the afternoon watching spotty faced 17 year olds trying to learn theoroms. If a teacher did that now it would probably cause a minor Joe Duffy hysteria.

You must have been on some buzz after that.
