re: Do you have a memory that you think is your earliest?

I can't remember anything before my first poon

I have a few fragmentary memories that I can't place. One of looking up at an airplane, another of being at the doctor and getting a shot. The first clear memory that I can put a date on is moving into our new house a month or two before I turned 4. I have quite a few memories after that though. Following some dogs into the woods and getting lost, my sister being born. My mother and I going somewhere on a cold morning and the car wouldn't start. My dad came out in his bathrobe, did something under the hood and it started.

I was taking a shite. That’s all I have.

Vague memories of my parents packing up the car during the Cuban Missle Crisis.

Hurricane Betsy 1965
I was almost four

I have a couple memories of being with my dad before I was 2 years old. He was killed when I was about 2.5.

One being at sea world and feeding sea lions together. Hanging sardines over the side and they would jump up and grab them.
Another one was hiding under the bed to surprise him when he was getting home from work in the afternoon.

Playing with Lego's on my grandparents floor and looking at my grandfather in his recliner hooked up to an oxygen machine. He passed when I was four.

I remember my dad holding me up to see my new born sister in the nursery. I was two and half.

I have two and I don't know which one was actually the earliest. One is laying on the floor in the living room and looking up at the family dog "Jo" standing beside me, and thinking "what if Jo was my mom?"

The other was me in a detachable back seat on my mom's bike with little baskets where my feet went and I remember pumping my feet up & down pretending I was pedaling the bike. My mom had just got the seat and I actually have a pic of that very day, just before we took off for a ride.
