Sliding down a slide in my backyard when I was 3 and being struck in the head by a croquet ball that some teenager had hit a la golf from about 15 yards away. Concussed.

I remember looking up and seeing the attic access to my house while laying down in my crib. I have no idea how old I was, but it had to be my crib, because my actual bed was never in that spot in my room.

I also remember falling off of one of those wooden playsets when I was in pre-K. I face planted and had a nose bleed. It's probably my first vivid memory where I remember specific details. I guess I was 4 years old.

My earliest memory is when I was 13 waking up to my house on fire. I've always thought it was odd that I have no childhood memories before this time. I guess the tragedy blocked them?

Mardi Gras parade in 1980, I was 2 1/2 yrs old. A green station wagon with wooden panels (National Lampoon's style) hit a motorcycle head-on with 2 riders (male and female). Launched both of them through the air. Guy landed in the street near me with blood coming out of his ears and nose. No idea if he lived.

Earliest was in the womb. Not lying but I know most will not believe me.



After that I think I was 2. I remember my diaper being changed on the counter in the bathroom.

I can't even remember what I had for breakfast, so driving to work is my earliest memory.

I'm 40 now, I can remember being 3 years old walking in the neighborhood with my older sister and dog. Also remember my friend across the street, were still friends till this day . The reason why I know I was three is because where we lived and I have asked questions about the memories.

Two and a half years old. My dad was working on a van and it caught on fire and I remember vividly seeing the firetruck coming down our driveway and my mom holding me and crying and me telling her, "don't twy mama." Weird but true

I remember my mom bringing me to see "The Jungle Book in the old Grand Theatre in Thibodaux. It was rereleased in 1978. I would have been three. I remember going fishing with my Dad and Paw Paw. We got out of the boat and stood on a rock pile. Probably about the same age.

I have a verified memory from 13 months old. I typed it all out explaining it, but then fell asleep typing and bumped the refresh button on my phone.

I'm exhausted, newborns kill sleeping habits.

I have several memories from when I was two years old and living in Alief, TX in 1977.

- Going to the pool with my Dad
- My model airplanes hanging from my bedroom ceiling
- The water toy clown that had the hat shoot up and down from the stream of water while in the backyard
- My birthday and Halloween

My Mom just sent me some old audio Cassette tapes from when I was four years old at Christmas 1979. I burst into tears hearing my Paw Paw's voice and a flood of memories came back regarding old toys that I had long forgotten about.

I have 2 memories from when I was between 1-2 yrs old.

I remember being on my dads shoulders feeding sea lions at Disney world and I remember running and hiding from him under the bed with mom before dad came home from work. I lost my dad at 2 yrs old so maybe that's why they stuck with me from such a young age.

Got attacked by chickens in a coop when I was 2. I remember the adults freaking out more than the poultry assault. The clearest memory is my grandpa chasing them with a belt, presumably as punishment but he may have just not liked chickens.

I remember an old teddy bear at my cousin's house. It talked, but the one phrase I recall it saying was "Take me home with you." So I smuggled the bear out of there and got in trouble later.
