What was you first memory..

dls06

Mine was sitting in my highchair eating pancakes, with my little fork. It had a yellow end on it and I use to chew it because I thought it was candy. Figures it was an eating memory.

I was standing at the top of stairs, staring down at my dad...with a gun to my moms head............fragmented memories...........

My first memory is when I was three, seriously late memory. We lived in Los Angeles while waiting for our house to be built. Just a random memory of my brother and me playing.

When I was 3,standing in a room in the house looking up at a mirror that was hung over a mantle.

I remember staring at a pink wall. We moved out of that house when I was 1 1/2. My first action memory is kindergarten - I started when I was four, and I remember several things from it, but couldn't tell you which one was first in the year.

My teacher was absolutely beautiful.

I peed my pants and had to wear pink houdstooth pants that were six inches too long.

I got home from school one day and the fire department was at my house, the bus driver took me to my grandma's. Everyone was fine, except the cat who had to grow all her hair back.

Waking up in the middle of the night as a 3 year old and wanting so bad to go crawl in with the neighbor that was taking care me while my Mom really sick and in the hospital. I didn't because I didn't want her to think I was a baby...

I have a hard time determining what's a memory or what I think is a memory based on seeing old home movies. However, having said that, my first verifiable memory is of feeding my baby sister some dirt with a hollow white plastic chess piece when she was sitting in her high chair; I was about 2 1/2 at the time.

about 4 i think... laying on my bed at grandparents apartment above their store, (where mum and i lived).. feeling sick to my stomach from the smell of paint fumes.
(Nana and Dada were getting the outside shutters painted and the oil based paint made me sick)

Oh my God, I didn't mean to... Are you ok. Is your mom ok......
I hope she got out of the situation and you both are happy and healthy!

My brother and my cousin piling a million stuffed animals on me while I was in my crib. They were always mean.

I believe my first memory is probably when I was laying in front of the tv and looking back at my grandpa. This is my only memory of him as he died when I was really young, just don't remember how old at the moment.

I remember that day too, I was in 2nd grade. The nuns came in and told us. We left early that day and when I got home my older sister and mom were crying too.

He didn't shot her, but never saw her again, that night, from what I am told, my grams came and got me, and kept me and raised me from that point on...

Sounds like your grandpa had an impact on you.

You sound like my daughter. Her brother and cousins were always tormenting her. I was always yelling.

I feel awful for bringing up such bad memories, Please forgive me. If I could I would delete this post! Is there a way?

Mine was me in a really big crib on wheels eating a purple posicle. My mom says that is from when I was about 2 1/2 and my lung collapsed. The big crib was the hospital child area and I had a grape posicle after the procedure. Otherwise, no memories until I was about 5.

@pds06.....No worries! Don't feel bad....its the past.....I think everything I have been through has molded me into what I am, darkness and light....
There are so many happy memories on this thread......and its a great post!

I think I was about 1 or 1 1/2.... I remember sitting on the floor surrounded in glass as I had just pulled down a glass shelf and my dad was passed out drunk on the floor beside me..... still have visions of it like it happened yesterday.

it was 32 years ago when they passed, these are good memories, I survived and I think that was what was supposed to happen. Do not feel bad for me, join me in celebrating my life. Memories serve as a connection to those that are no longer with us. So, thank you for asking the question.

I was 3 and looking up at the clouds thought i saw an angel.

I remember seeing my mom working at a diner called the BrightSpot in Alton, IL. See said there is no way I could remember that because she was pregnant with me at the time. I was able to tell her what she wore, and describe things around the diner.

ummm.......I was 3, at my grandparents farm......in the barn. My grandmother was checking on a newborn calf. She asked me to name it......So I called it Tom......after 'Tom and Jerry'...........

I was three and my folks were re-painting the house and apparently I sat right in the paint tray used for the paint roller! :laugh:
They must have thought it was funny (I don't associate the memory w/ getting lectured) and to this day I still like house painting and the smell of housepaint. :bigsmile:
