Mine is eating an ice-cream in Westport.

Being on a plane to the Isle of Man. I remember being in my mothers arms eating custard cream biscuits.
Years later I found out that happened when i was 2!! :eek: How the hell can anyone remember anything from when they were 2!?!?

Sitting on my aunties lawn in New York in 1983. I was 2 years old. I remember a black fella cycling by on a bike, it had a basket on the front.

I remember being a Tyrannosaurus Rex and finding it very difficult to open jars and things with my hands.

billybudd · 23-11-2012 01:29AM

Sticking my finger in a plug and being shocked!

Swimming, swimming so fast bursting to get there first. I look back and I see them all desperately trying to catch me but they can't because I've got the biggest tail. And then suddenly I collide with a big round object. It's a blur after that.

I remember being in a buggy as my Mom was pushing me across the road. All of a sudden I felt myself fall backwards, and heard my Mom say she slipped on some oil. Pretty sure that's my first memory. There are others, but I think that one happened first.

fasttalkerchat · 23-11-2012 01:35AM

Playgroup just after my 3rd birthday. I didn't like it.

I'd like to change my original reply to "riding your ma" if I could, please? :pac:

Mine is from when I was about 3. The hurling team my Dad and Uncle played for won a county final and we must have gone to the pub afterwards, because I distinctly remember they were both wearing 70s suits (complete with flared trouser legs and kipper ties). I remember them standing me up on a pub stool, with one of them either side of me holding my hands, and a big cup/trophy being passed around over everybody's head's......

Strange how I can remember what I did in a pub 30 years ago, yet I can't remember what I did in the pub last Saturday night:o

Sitting in a pram / crib and hearing classical music coming from the radio or wireless as it was know then in the mid sixties .It must have made some impression and creeped into my baybee subconscious because I still love classical music now .

Running around in water fountains in a park in Australia with my cousin.

I remember my grandad being in bed upstairs in his house and my mum bringing me up to see him. He gave me paper money, probably a pound note. He died in April 1971. I was born in November 69 so i was less than 18 months old. It's a very vivid memory and one I will never forget.

BillyMitchel · 23-11-2012 01:53AM

My gimp of an old man at my granddads funeral, I was about 5 he turned around and said ah well son this is how we all end up. Think I cried for a month and it tortured me for years. He's lucky the good memories outweigh the bad!

Getting a toy tractor from Santa and spending the day playing in the box the tractor came in.

Think I was 3 at the time.

Pherekydes · 23-11-2012 02:10AM

Kennedy's visit.

Mr Simpson · 23-11-2012 02:15AM

I remember quite a lot of Playschool and a holiday before that, so around 3 years old!

Pilotdude5 · 23-11-2012 02:20AM

Various bits of play-school when i was 3. Making snakes out of Mala.

I have family there! I only found out not too long ago when my sister and I were trying to think of what our earliest memories were. And I remember the clown making fun of my cousin simones name. I asked my mam how old I was and she said 2.:pac:

Standing in the street outside a giant jewellery store in Jersey when I was about three.

Or peeing my pants in playschool because I was too shy to ask to go to the toilet. Charming child.

What's your earliest memory of life?
