Well i remember arguing with God to make the sky purple.

taking swimming lessons. I was with eight or nine really little kids in an indoor pool with our moms, an instructer and a bunch of plastic toys floating on the surface.

I was 2 and I was at my cousin's house and was jumping off the back of a hide-a -bad onto the mattress part and fell off the back and split my head open and had to go have stitches. I remember it very vividly, being carried up the stairs by an older cousin, them holding me over the sink in the bathroom to wash it out, the operation room, asking for my mom who, I found out later, couldn't take watching me get the stitches and crying and I kept asking for her and my aunt just kept telling me she had to go to the bathroom and I thought that was really weird.
I have a few memories of around that age to about age 4 of playing with my next door neighbor, whom I'm still friends with.
I remember lo9ts of kindergarden very vividly as well. Particularly reading lessons cause I already knew how to read and I hated it. I remember being annoyed having to underline all of the consonants in the word tomato to sound it out cause I already knew what it said. And that the only reading question I ever got wrong the whole year was when I had to circle the picture of the word on the page and it said "lion" and I circled the tiger cause I didn't know the difference between a lion and a tiger. I didn't think it was fair that I got marked down cause I knew it said "lion" and the test was for reading, not animal identification.

I remember standing in the crib with my lil sister (I must have been 2) and chewing on the wood. My dad came in with a fresh donut and gave it to us. I remember being soooo happy (like I get now when I see a donut). After it was gone I remember tasting the sweetness on the wood...

Music that I remember: Anything Michael, Earth Wind and Fiyah, Luther, BB king, and Prince. My mom played 'Home' from The Wiz soundtrak a lot too.

Songs I remeber really liking: Kiss, Always (Atlantic Starr), I feel 4 U (Chaka), and Flashlight!!

i know how you feel...and i remember being the only kid in my entire class who knew how to read, so the teachers would have me read stories to my classmates.

I had a farm in Africa, at the foot of the Ngong Hills

I think one of my first memories was crawling in my paternal grandmother's back lawn watching grasshoppers jump around. I was equally frightened and delighted.

Another memory was discovering a mountain of Motown vinyl 45s in the basement. This was one of the first things that I ever remember seeing:

for some reason i remember so much from when i was little. my firt memory was about 1 years old but i dont have many of them memories. but from around the age of 3 and up i really remeber alot, too many to name on here. it surprises me that some people can only remember from 8

I remember visiting my great grandma in the hospital and it smelled there and was kind of dark. She was having peas with her dinner and let me try some, but I didn't like them. I've only been eating peas again in the last 10 years.

Waking up from a nap in a basket of warm laundry. My mom had the basket for a long time, and it's not very big. I cannot have been older than 2. . . probably more like 1.

It's a nice memory.

Watching my older brothers play Super Mario Bros.

Hearing the The Stylistics playing in the background.

My absolute first memory would have to be sitting on Santa's knee when i was two years old and gettin this Mr Men soap and a red plastic boat-shaped soap dish with it. !982

My most strangest memory was when i was three. I had just come back from grocery shopping with my dad. While he went in2 da kitchen 2 put all da groceriez away- i remember standing in da lounge and thinking "I'm gonna snap-shot this picture in my mind and i will remember this moment forever". Looking back at it, dat was a rather strange thought for a kid of dat age- i was a lil kooky though ...somethingz never change

Running down a hill, realising eye was unable 2 stop myself & just b4 eye reached the inevitable crash, my father lifting me n his arms 2 safety.

I can't remember how old I was but I must have been quite little because I have this feeling being in someone's arms and I remember I watched my diapers were drying in our bathroom in my childhood-home. I remember the lamp light was close to my head.

I remember kindergarten too, and the same nonsense about reading. I remember my teacher reading Charlotte's Web out loud to the class a chapter or two a day, and by the time she had finished the whole book, I had already finished it on my own and read (also by E.B. White) Stuart Little, and Trumpet of the Swan. . . twice.

I remember reading Charlotte Web as well.

It's a great book. However because of it loads of people have assumed my surname is "Webb", just because my first name is Charlotte

I was in the playroom of my old house and was looking at a picture book. I think I was on K for kangaroo. I wanted to ask my mom something, and she was out back mowing the lawn, so I opened the sliding glass door and kept yelling at her but the mower was too loud. I was so frustrated that she couldn't hear me.

I have a memory of my grandfather holding me up when I was a baby - I guess I was around 7 or 8 months old.

My grandfather could remember being born. I've never heard of anyone else with a memory going back that far.

I remember Christmas when I was 2 or 3. Mom always made it magic, dad always made it fun. I remember my uncle showing me how you could press silly putty on the funnnies and lift the picture. I also remember my first slinky. The aluminum tree was a few years in the future. lol

Xmas day at my nana's ...I must have been about 3 ...had blonde hair (strange thing to remember lol)

Say wha? BLOND hair?.....

The first thing I can honestly recall was a when I was about 3....we lived in a duplex in Richfield, Minnesota...we had a german sheppard name FRED....oh Fred...what a good boy...anyways, I remember standing on the garage roof....SERIOUSLY thinking about jumping off to see if I could fly...

It may not be my first but it was definitely distinct. I was about 2 1/2 to 3 years old and my mother and I took a trip on the train to California. 3-4 days travel time from NY to LA.

Anyway, we had a sleeping car and the toilet was under the bottom bunk bed. (Not blue water back then)

However, I remember going to the dining car with my mother and ordered a hamburger with a pickle. Well I ate almost everything except 1/2 the burger and the pickle. So my mother wrapped it up and said she'd keep it for me.

Later that day I asked my mother for the rest of the hamburger and the pickle. She had the hamburger, but the pickle had disappeared. She tried to play it off like I didn't remember.

'Till today it's an ongoing joke between us, because she knew she ate my pickle. Oh and she told me I couldn't possible remember because I was too young.

PICKLE STEALER

I remember when I was three, I had mono but the drs didnt believe my mother, they were doing all sorts of tests on me, needles in my arm, ect. and they wouldnt let my mom in.

I think I screamed nonstop for about 2 hrs
damn DRs.

what's mono ?
