    Mine was looking out the window of a creche watching my ma walking away to go to work. I'm suprised I remember that, I must have been about 2 years old.

    Bashing my head off the fireplace when I was two. Was racing my older brother at the time and tripped.

    What was he thinking!

    Sitting in my high chair having a tantrum because I was talking but nobody could understand me, I'd say something and they'd reply with "yes, goo goo ga ga who's a good girl". I'd love to know if that's a real memory, I can remember it so clearly but I must have been really young

    With the exception of the time difference, mine is the exact same memory.

    We went to my grandparents because they had a colour television.

    Sitting in a pram when I was 1/2 at the the local army barracks while there was some display thing on. I was only interested in pulling out of the chain barrier.

    Being caught trying to twist my newborn sister's arms when I was four.

    Quite similar to my first actually. I remember seeing my brother creep up behind my sister with a scissors, grabbing her pony tail and snipping it all off. Made me laugh at the time! :pac:

    Falling in the school yard and getting quite a few stones lodged in my knee. Remember someone picking them out with a tweezers and screaming for my Mam. All of a sudden she was there and it didn't hurt anymore. Mammys rock!

    Dunno if it's my earliest memory or not but I remember when I was aaround 3/4 asking Mom if I ever flew in an airplane and she told me that I flew back from Greece in her belly...



    ...A full 10 years later I have a eureka moment and it dawns on me that I know where I was concieved:o
