    I don't have many childhood memories. I can recall some domestic abuse in the house, but it is unclear if those have formed from my mother telling me in therapy or not. My clearest memory is from when I was 8 years old and met my biological father for the first and last time.

    At age two we lived in Hawaii on a military base and I remember watching amphibious tanks going in and out of the ocean from my back yards.

    Back when I was about 2, I remember being taken out of the kitchen and left in my cot on my own. I screamed the place down. Next memory I have is when I had just turned 3, I kept asking my mum 'Am I 4 yet?' Lol!

    I remember at the age of four showing off to a group of girls at my infants school, by sticking my finger up a tap and squirting water everywhere. The outcome was that I was taken to the headmistress's office where my clothes had to be dried, and I felt very guilty.

    See, led astray by women even at that age. :)

    One of my earliest memories, is playing in the living room of the house we were living in at the time, and I actually remember looking down at my little feet. I was wearing a blue jumpsuit. I must of only been about two years old at the most.

    My first memory is either being bathed in the sink, or eating baby food. I have no idea what age I was, but those are my first memories ever.

    I was 2, and I was looking for my plastic key set. As I walked down the hallway, I saw them hanging on the doorknob of my parents bedroom door. I realized that they were opaque, and I have known that word ever since.

    It's hard to know if you really recall an old memory or just know it because your parents talked about it later.

    But I'm going to guess I remember for real on my own getting a Vroom bike for christmas back in the early 60's

    I was about 3-4 (I think?) and my foot got stuck in a bus door as we got out. The bus driver started to drive off and my dad was holding me up and running alongside the bus trying to pull my foot out from between those damn pneumatic doors. The bus driver finally noticed what was happening and stopped. What was likely only about 15 meters seemed like a couple blocks to me at the time heh. I didn't even crap my pants :-) I have fuzzy earlier memories but none as clear as that one.

I was in my crib and my dad had given me a clear soft plastic Indy race car( back then they looked like cigars with wheels)filled with little balls of candy. I remember holding the car snd looking at it along with my dad who was looking @ me with a big smile.

    My very, very first memory was of my first steps. My mum doesn't think I can remember this, but I can. I went to see my dad in prison with her, and he tried to hold me. He scared me so much I managed to run three steps into my mums arms. I didn't know who he was.

From my description, my mother has told me that she is pretty sure it is my fourt birthday. Just family sitting around the table.

    Being a toddler in Hawaii. Our house was on stilts and I would crawl underneath and sit in the center. Wait for mom to realize I was missing and then see her feet cirle around the house over and over calling my name out. She'd eventually find me and have to come get me out. It was so funny.

    1. Getting into trouble for taking something from the corner drugstore without paying for it.
    2. Going to the surfboard shop next door to the drugstore in #1.
    3. Playing with this toy with big wheels on both sides with handles on them that you could drive kind of like a tank or dozer (forward, backward or in circles).

    All from age 3 or 4.

    This one is weird, but VERY vivid! I was either late 2 or possibly 3 (tho' I don't remember my lil' brother being there, he was born on my 2nd birthday), but the family (grandparents, Mom, her little brother, and me), loaded up the car in W. Texas and drove to backwoods Arkansas to see my great-grandparents. THE memory I remember is, opening a door to the back room, and seeing my great-grandma "catheterizing" my great-grandpa (he was close to dying) on the side of the bed. It is a very VIVID memory, and I'm told (tho' they don't see how), that it actually did happen! Also, on that trip, another of my Mom's brothers, took me by the feet, and continually swung me out over a stock pond, scaring me to death!
    I know it's kinda gross, but it is my earliest memory.
