    Mine is my first day of school, roaring and screaming at the school gates because I didn't want to go! And the next school memory is of the principal making me stand in the corner because I had my little red shoes on the wrong feet :o

    Getting my nappy changed by my brother and being happy that I was getting a new disposable nappy instead of a towelling one.

    Also remember being in my cot and trying to climb out over the bars.

    On the DART to Bray during the summer when I was about 3, with my older sister. That's 13 years ago, wow.

    i think i tried to eat a bottle of talcum powder in the back of a taxi when the little brother was being brought back from hollis street.

    I have memories going back to just before two years old. It might be a bit younger, but it's not like I have a reference point.I can remember sitting in the back garden with the neighbours kids making noise. It was a sunny day and I was playing with a spinning spiderman toy.
    I have loads of other random memories like that from back then, so it's possible that one might be a after some of the others.

    my sister trying to pull me from my cot when i was a baby

    she was too small and weak to do so so she basically ended up pinching and pulling me....bitch!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 35,514 ✭✭✭✭efb


    Really, I remember asking my grandad for a lift in his car, he died when I was 2, so 2.

    Playing with a blue beach ball in a swimming pool in Malta. It was the summer of 1990 so I would have been a year and 10 months old.

    Getting my fingers caught in the front door when I was 3.5
    I also have very vivid memories of a holiday we took just after my 4th birthday.

    I remember visiting my great-aunt in Carlow, she had loads of chickens and I recall chasing them around for a bit then falling over and getting stung by nettles! Apparently was only 2 at the time, I can still remember the sting! We moved house when I was 3 and I've loads of memories of the old house as well. It's weird to remember back that far

    Pain: a major earache, the kind you don't forget. I don't know exactly how old I was, but I'm pretty sure it was less than three.

    I was about two or three chasing a cat around the garden and kicking up the arse.



    I do not condone animal cruelty. :p

    3.5" floppy. Although, technically wasn't memory, more ' removable memory'

    Sitting in the back of my Dad's car as we drove along Mountjoy Sq and then as we went through the lights, another car ploughing into the side of us and sending our car into a 180°.

    Hmm, it would have been the time I was on an internet forum and I was reading a thread called 'what is your earliest memory?', it was a good time iirc. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,303 ✭✭✭Temptamperu


    My first memory was looking at the making of The Empire Strikes Back. I thought then as I do know think the AT/ST walkers are the best things ever.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,533 ✭✭✭Daniel S


    Probably taking a ****.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 43,305 ✭✭✭✭K-9


    The Cot.

    Probably be the last memory too.
