I remember when I was 2 and my twin sister pushed me off of the porch, which was about 8-10 feet off the ground, and I landed on my tricycle and fractured my collarbone....all of this because I decided to help her throw dominoes off of the porch and she didn't want me to.  I pushed her off of the porch the next day, but she didn't get hurt.

Hey this is a fun thread.

One of my earliest memories I was about 2/1/2 and I had a friend visiting that was the same age as me. We had taken two of my mother's hand mirrors off her dresser and we were looking at ourselves in them and running through the house. My mother fussed at me "stop running with the mirrors, you're going to break it". Well about 10 seconds after she said that, down I went and the mirror broke. I was so astonished. How did she know what was going to happen?

I remember thinking that potatoe chips were made out of pickles because we always ate Ruffles and they had the same kind of ridges that pickle slices had.

I remember thinking that dogs and cats were the same species just different sexes. Dogs were boys and cats were girls.


:)  In first grade, I remember thinking there were 100 seconds in a minutre, 100 minutes in an hour and 100 hours in a day.

I was around 3 we were staying with my grandparents as Dad was overseas. Grandpa had a Huge beautiful tropical fish  aquarium. I wanted to help so I fed them for him.I went and told  grandpa I had fed the fish for him. Everyone ran to the aquarium and saw I had dumped a box of cherrios in there. Breakfast!
Poor fish they did not survive.

LOL Sparkling!
Once when my younger brother lost a tooth "The Tooth Fairy" put a nickel under his pillow.
We lived with my mother's aunt and uncle in a big house.
One time my aunt was getting ready for work in the morning and couldn't find her false teeth! Big uproar! She was running around the house; "Where's me fookin teeth! Where's me fookin teeth!" (Irish)
My brother figured he'd get a bundle from the tooth fairy and both uppers and lowers were under his pillow!

Like a lot of people here, I remember things even from when I was a year old, but I'm not sure about what memory came first.

I *think* this one was first:

I was in a bunny outfit and sitting up in a stroller and it must have been Christmas time...I realize this now because I was being wheeled over to windows outside of department stores and some had moving trains and all kinds of wonderful things.  I saw myself reflected in the glass and saw my bunny ears, lol, and then the most amazing thing happened; huge fat snowflakes started falling from the sky and some fell on my face and eyelashes.  They were so intricate and delicate...I was transfixed with awe by how beautiful they were.  I can't remember anything else from that day. 

I had to have been around 8 months old, because by next Christmas we lived in Florida.

Ooooh HEHE that reminds me of something else.

When I was five I used to ride the bus to school. My best friend in school was a boy named Harvey. His house was on the way to the bus stop so I would stop at his house to get him and we would walk together. Every morning I would ring his doorbell and his Mom would come to the door and tell me Harvey would be ready in a minute. So I would stand out there and count to 60 as fast as I could since I thought that's how fast seconds were. She'd send him out the door and I would tell her he was late again! (I bet she wanted to smack me)

This is always a fun one.

I can remember being a small boy and hearing a "WOOOOOooo, Wooooooooooo" outside my window at night.
I remember running into the kitchen and saying something like; "Mummy, there's a ghost outside my window" or something like that.
I can remember my mother telling me, "Oh don't worry Timmy, that's just the choo choo train!"
We lived about a half mile away from the train tracks.
It must have been in 1953 or there abouts and it was right at the end of the line for those old steam engines on the Boston & Maine railroad.
As I remember it they made a hauntingly beautiful sound at night!
"WOOOOO,....Wooooooooooooo....."



Aww that's sooo cute... cuz... when my lil girl see's a Train.. she.. always says.. Choo choo Mommy... she's addicted to them now.lol.




popeye1250 -> RE: Your Earliest Childhood Memories. (7/27/2006 10:40:06 AM)

Greeneyed, yes, a lot of kids really love trains!
When I was very young they still had steam engines and that's something I've never forgotten.
