What's your earliest memory?

[Visionray]

The earliest thing I can remember is riding a tricycle down a sidewalk at my preschool, - just for a split second.
So I must have been about 3 or 4.

What's yours?

my earliest memory was when i was like 2, i remember being at the worlds fair and i remember there was this yellow bounce house and my parents aasked my older brother if he wanted to go jump in the bounce house and he started to cry...lol then later that daythere was this modern art type thing where there were all sorts of concrete vehicles going into the water and i remember me and my brother trying to get into one, we were too short to get into the car so i tried to climbon to the motorcycle so may be i was 3... i dunno

I remember I was about 2 years old, and my dad was carrying me into the bathroom. He took one of those green nose squirter thingys (I forgot the name), and squeezed it in my nose. I hated it.

I also remember having my diaper changed by my dad, too. Don't know if that was before the whole nose-squirter incident, though.

i remember having a tornado in the neighborhood, and having to go into the bathroom to hide with my cousin and mom. i think i was about 2 or 3. i have a lot of flashes from that time period (my parents red bedroom, the batman and robin tv show, and playing grocery store), but the tornado incident is probably my oldest complete memory....

I can remember jumping up and down on a black leather couch while wearing a superman t-shirt... according to my parents, they got rid of that couch when I was almost 3... so... 2 years old is my earliest memory.

I was walking up the street with my sister. We saw two guys with long hair and beards sitting at the top step of their building entrance, smoking. My sister whispers, "Let's go home," and I say, "Yeah."

That was in California, and we moved from there when I was 2. So I had to be 2 years old or less.

I remember walking up the road with me Mum to get ice creams. The shops were next to the train station and I can remember being completely freaked out when the trains came through the crossing.

No permanent damage, as my favourite toy later on was a cool Hornby train set.

I guess I was 'bout 2, going on 3.

I think that we probably remember a lot more than we think and just need the right triggers to run those memories.....a smell, a sound, and finally, a visual. It is all recorded somewhere in the brain, probably every sensory experience ever is there somewhere.

Seeing one of those big ol' black bakelite phones at a museum recently triggered a memory for me of the first time I answered a telephone, at my grandmother's house when I was getting over tonsilitis...it hurt to talk, but gran was not around to pick up the receiver. That memory had been hidden for about 46 years.

Im like the guy from memento, wait (captures the screen) there, i´ll remember this thread, (emails help too).

My earliest memory...I was standing in what would later become my bedroom, looking down the hall into the kitchen. Standing behind the door, so I could barely be seen. We had company in the kitchen and I guess I was scared of them. I also remember I was holding one of those toy lawn mower type things(where you push it and the balls jump around inside a little clear plastic bubble thing.)

earliest memory, we were being hunt down by a T-rex, and the birth givers were trying to avoid the glaciers...

sulphur everywhere, playing near the molte Lava fountain, Ooh those were the days

[swampy]

either being taken by two older kids to collect conkers when I was about two, or at about the same age, travelling on the tube for the first time with my dad when he took me to Hendon air museum near London
