what is your first memory? my first memory is my mom and dad and me on the island and my mom saying "see this island. this is home. home sweet home."

then my dad said "you under stand son. your momma just told ya that this island is your home. home sweet home. sweet home island. sweet island home."

i said "where will i school?"

dad said "we will teach you."

i asked if i could have a pet and my dad said "i have a monkey for you. what will you call him?"

i said "Meiko Travattio." as i took the monkey.

dad said "good. an intelligent name."

"for an intelligent monkey." my momma said.

"this calls for a toast." my dad said.

"no, honey." my momma protested.

dad then took a carton of beer out of the cooler and took them out and drank them one after the other.

"do not ever become like me, son." my dad had told me. "do not ever become a drunken bastard like your old man."

"why not dad?" i asked. "i look up to you."

"because a carton a day brings many ulcers once you turn gray."
he had said.

i guess i betrayed his trust. what are your first memories?

Hearing "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" by the Beatles being played repeatedly on the radio. This was the early/mid-60's.

Now this is really vague, but it's my earliest memory. I'm just a few years old - perhaps about 2. I'm being given a bath by some woman my parents hired to mind me when they were out. My parents are going out for the evening, and I see them walk by the bathroom all dressed up and tell the person something about when they'll be home. That's it.

I forget my first memory... I have a bunch and dont remember which happened first. I think my first is actually when I had a dream that I threw up under my babysitters sink. Or I was about 3 and I picked up my babysitters fake dog poop. :crazy: Or the time me and her baked cookies. I remember running back and forth down the sidewalk thing @ JimmyLees ice creme when I used to ride on the back of my Dads bike.

My childhood memories were mostly traumatizing, so I don't like to talk about them. But I do remember this one time we were going to Maryland, and my brother and sister told me to shove a tic tac up my nose, so I did.

This was when I was 2 in 1987. I had my tonsils taken out, and I remember the morning of my surgery REALLY vividly. I'd been battling a really bad sore throat. My parents got me out of bed, got me dressed, and brought me to the dining room to see if they could get me to eat a little something before they took me to the hospital. They sat me down in my chair, took out the plastic yellow bowl that I used as a really young girl, poured some Cheerios (my bowl was a Cheerios bowl with white words outlined in black) and some milk. I tried eating my Cheerios, but couldn't. I kept grabbing my throat and moaning because it hurt so much. :crying:

That was 16 years ago, and I don't even remember what it was like to have tonsils.

Watching Cheers w/ my dad.

My mother didnt think it was "appropriate" (i was 2 or 3...) but whenever she'd go out, my dad and I would watch it. He thought she'd never know, but thats my first memory...

busted. :lol:

My first memory was probably of nursery school in the early 70's, We took a field trip to the fire station and everyone got one of those flimsy plastic fire helmets.

doing a puzzle, or preschool..i dont know which one is earlier

My first is from when I was about 2. It had snowed outside and my mom got me all dressed to go out with my sisters. But when she took me out I got scared, I guess I thought I was going to fall through the snow or something and she took me back inside.

I Dont. Remember. :grr:

sometimes I walk into some stores or rooms and the smell of my old reception classroom comes back- it's like the smell of the watercolour paint blocks you had to add water to, along with glue and plasticine.

My first memory of when I was 3 and I was at my grandfather's funeral.

I know this is weird, but I remember laying in my crib and hearing the "Cheers" theme playing on TV. I'm dead serious too.

I have lots of memories of when i was a baby but i think the earliest (i didnt know how old i was in any of em) was when i was sitting in the thing in the cart where you put your baby at safeway and when my mom was checking out i was pounding my hand on the counter and the cash register lady started doing the same thing.. wtf

:rotflmao: Ah man, Drunkenbastard, it's sad seeing ya go. Hopefully you can get unbanned.


I'm like ¤MsConanOBrien¤... I have a bunch of early memories but none that I can say happened first. Actually, there is one I have always thought about to be my first, I was a year and a half and my 3 year old cousin was picking on me in the backyard. A picture was taken later that day so I know I was only that old. The picture wasn't taken during her picking on me, so I know I am really remembering it. That little itch! ;)

I can remember some things from 85 (I was born in 83), like playing with certain toys, watching tv shows and music videos back then. But then my memories of music and tv at that time may be so clear because I continued to see the same stuff after I was 1 1/2 and 2.

Watching ALF when I was about three.

I was about 10 or 11, I remember moving to California and living in two cities. Beyond that, I have no idea. According to my old college psychology professor, I repressed my childhood memories. I'm now 26, so I lost about 10 or 11 years of my life. I want those years back, I want to know what happened to me back then!!!!!!!

My first memory...at my 3rd birthday party...

I HAD A BARNEY PARTY AND BARNEY CAME AND DANCED WITH ME! YAY! lol

I didnt know i was alive though til my 5th birthday party i seen myself in the mirror i was like ****

I was almost two - 21 months to be exact - and I do remember going to the hospital to meet my baby sister. I remember the conversation I had with my grandmother: I asked her what she was for Halloween and she said "a witch!" I don't remember actually meeting my sister, just the anticipation of it. I guess it must have been a let-down ;) that's what I tell her anyway :lol:

Greg.:lol:

in my crib when i was four i was sucking on the ball post type things that were on the crib

The first thing I remember is falling off the jungle Jim @ the park when I was 5 (oouucchh) I went to hospital.............

I consider my first official memory to be my mom sharing a Crunch bar with me as I laid in bed, and I remember thinking it tasted SOOO GOOD! I have snippets of memories from early toddlerhood, but I consider that one my first official memory just because I recall it so well.

I had a seizure when I was like just over a year old, and I remember getting a shot in the behind and it was SOOO PAINFUL, and I remember getting an IV and thinking, "This does NOT hurt as bad as the shot!" I don't see how I recall, much less rationalized all that when I was 1, but I swear I remember it, and that would have been the only time I ever got an IV
