What is the first thing you can remember in your life?

The first thing I can remember happened when I was 3.

I got lost at the world's fair. I think I walked away from my parents, and I remember this lady asking me if I was lost. She then took me to what I guess now was a police officer, but I thought it was strange because the officer was seated in one of those propped up chairs that Lifeguards or Vollyball referees sit in.

The second thing I can ever remember happened when I was 3 too! All I remember is jumping on a glass table, and then getting stiches in my butt cheek because the table broke.

My earliest memory is when I choked on a marble. It was black and had a yellow stripe on it, and I was in the lounge at the time. It was about mid-afternoon, and it was an overcast day. Oddly specific, isn't it?

I also went through my old Primary school books, and got a severe case of nostalgia:

I remember being laughed at in preschool at ~3.

I've shared my first memories, so many times that it's getting old.

I've mentioned one incident a few times through other posts. Called "The Blood Test Incident."

I'll post it again because you'll have a hard time finding it. But I'll summarise it as I really can't be asked to go into detail.

It's when I was 2, I had to go for a Blood Test after doctors were doing tests on me after thinking what was wrong with me. lol, at first they thought I was deaf because I didn't respond to the doctors. Anyway, by the vague thoughts I remember which I consolidated with my mum to see if it was true, my mum was at home, and my dad was with me at the hospital. The nurse, approached me with the needle. I screamed, I flinched and my dad and 4 other nurses had to pin me down with the needle for this blood test. They struggled to pin me down and I ended up leaping forward and pushing a nurse who launched across the room. They then tried sedating me. It didn't work. They put enough sedative in me to put down an elephant and I was still conscious. I was then taken home where I stumbled all over from the sedation.

My mum said the hospital wrote an apology, and she's still got that letter.

When someone says "Early childhood Memory" to me, I say "The Blood Test Incident", as explained above.

There was another one, where I was about 3 or 4 where I choked on a Black Wine Gum.

And another where I was running around on the beach when I was 2, and I was stung by a bee, and as I'm allergic to the venom, it stung me on the leg, and my leg started to swell up.

The bee allergy is not too serious though. It's just a lump swelling.

Less than 3 years old (because I was in a crib) the burn from Coca Cola in my baby bottle but it was a good burn!

Remember white carpet in our house and that our house was much smaller "
we added on later".

My earliest memory was from when I was in my crib at under 1 year old. I had some kind of furry ball thing that I used to hit, and it made a jingly noise.

I can also remember something from when I was one year old. I pointed to a petrol station that kinda freaked me out for some strange reason and shouted 'Ner Ner Ner', and I can remember when I was about 2-3 years old and pointing to a sign and saying the word 'sign'.

It's really strange that I can remember things like this.

Me and my twin brother slept in cribs side by side and he used to throw stuffed animals at me to wake me up in the morning.

My first memory (that I can recall offhand) is my second day of school. My first was pretty uneventful, but the next day brought with it the realisation that I was going to have to do this every day from now on, and I was not happy at all. I shrieked and screamed and wouldn't let my mother leave...

... and then one of the teachers found me a book on dinosaurs, and I was happy again

the dumbo ride at disney world or land. i really don't know which it was. i was three...ahhh...dumbo...

Getting something on the kitchen selves, by climbing on top of the counter. I don't know why I remember that.

Exploring the inside of a 64-passenger vehicle.

when i was three, seeing my mum who tried to sit on a chair (she had a brain-tumor and died when i was four) but she fell of it all the time, the bed where i was in had red spheres.

i think people have never thought of me being strange and silent, cause they'd always have an explanation "she lost her mother".

Being potty trained. I was two or three, and I remember sitting in the potty and looking out the bathroom window, watching the clouds go by.
