What is your earliest memory?

hairyprincess

Mine is my first day of school, roaring and screaming at the school gates because I didn't want to go! And the next school memory is of the principal making me stand in the corner because I had my little red shoes on the wrong feet

Secondary school was tough for you so, ya?

Getting my nappy changed by my brother and being happy that I was getting a new disposable nappy instead of a towelling one.

Also remember being in my cot and trying to climb out over the bars.

I have memories going back to just before two years old. It might be a bit younger, but it's not like I have a reference point.I can remember sitting in the back garden with the neighbours kids making noise. It was a sunny day and I was playing with a spinning spiderman toy.
I have loads of other random memories like that from back then, so it's possible that one might be a after some of the others.

herisson

my sister trying to pull me from my cot when i was a baby

she was too small and weak to do so so she basically ended up pinching and pulling me....bitch!

efb

Really, I remember asking my grandad for a lift in his car, he died when I was 2, so 2.

Chuck Stone

DEFTLEFTHAND

Playing with a blue beach ball in a swimming pool in Malta. It was the summer of 1990 so I would have been a year and 10 months old.

Crea

Getting my fingers caught in the front door when I was 3.5
I also have very vivid memories of a holiday we took just after my 4th birthday.

stinkle

I remember visiting my great-aunt in Carlow, she had loads of chickens and I recall chasing them around for a bit then falling over and getting stung by nettles! Apparently was only 2 at the time, I can still remember the sting! We moved house when I was 3 and I've loads of memories of the old house as well. It's weird to remember back that far

bnt

Pain: a major earache, the kind you don't forget. I don't know exactly how old I was, but I'm pretty sure it was less than three.

Flojo

I was about two or three chasing a cat around the garden and kicking up the arse.



I do not condone animal cruelty.

TeddyTedson

Mr.Biscuits

Sitting in the back of my Dad's car as we drove along Mountjoy Sq and then as we went through the lights, another car ploughing into the side of us and sending our car into a 180°.

Fromthetrees

Hmm, it would have been the time I was on an internet forum and I was reading a thread called 'what is your earliest memory?', it was a good time iirc.

Temptamperu

My first memory was looking at the making of The Empire Strikes Back. I thought then as I do know think the AT/ST walkers are the best things ever.

Daniel S

Probably taking a ****.

K-9

The Cot.

Probably be the last memory too.

well go back and tell your younger self that those were AT/AT's not AT/ST's as they weren't around until ROTJ

Sunnyisland

Cant really remember back that far :-(, It has to be wearing short trousers and on my first day at school I was brought to the girls school and put sitting in a all girls class while the nuns figured out what to do with me,It had a profound effect on me :-)

starlit

Have a few early memories one when I was a baby having a photo taken I remember looking at my hand and had my fist up and just looking at it and the others it was my 1st birthday and the other time I was about the age of 2, I was chasing a pet dog around the garden.

Ms. Pingui

I'm studying psychology and counsellling.... and I learned how to analyse early memories. Now I know things about ye all that ye don't even know about yourselves :eek::D

candy-gal1

earliest memory, or one of them anyway, would have to be the first xmas i remember. think i was about 2 or 3, and coming downstairs with my parents early in the morning and it was still dark.
sneaking over to the living room door, and my parents pretending to make sure Santa had left presents and that he wasnt still there or id get into trouble for being out of bed and trying to see him :)

think that was the year i got my Corky and Cricket talking lifesize dolls, still have them too somewhere, anyone remember them

azezil

Temple street hospital, I was 3yrs old getting ready for an operation. Absolute bitch of a matron on the ward and another young lad beside me burnt all over, poor chap used to cry himself to sleep every night . I also remember post op all tubes in my bed and leaving, batman (played by Adam West) was on tv ^_^

Bob Geldoff shouting at us to give him his money at live aid after that, The other one is of my old man reading the times and queen radio gaga was playing in the background... :cool: i could sing a long to it ...

xoxyx

I remember fuck all before the age of six.

Who are you and what have you done with my memory????? :mad:

flanders1979

Christmas when I was almost 4 , got a ride on toy Massey Ferguson with a trailer.

TeddyTedson

One of mine is being pushed in a pram on the street while it was bucketing down raining but I had a plastic thing covering me so I was protected

Also my grand parents being in our house for for a BBQ.

Then there's also a few blips of Italia 90 I remember being watched in our house.

What I find weird is that I can remember things before I was quite sick apparently when I was around 3. Yet I have no recollection what so ever of being sick. You'd think that would have been something that would have stood out.

Brendan97

Having the garage door locked on my finger
I will never forget the pain
I was 3

When I was 4 my Family went on holiday to Pwhelli in Wales. I don't remember much, my main memory from it is one of my Brothers lost a tooth and he got a British pound and the four of us were all standing around staring at it because we had no idea what it was.

Oh and walking down the road with my parents holding my hands and swinging me, somewhere between the age of 3 and 5. I remember because there was still remnants of Irish flags painted on all the paths from Italia 90.

I have really, really vague memories of going to playschool when I was 2 (I wasn't meant to be there, my brothers started a year before me and the teachers just let me hang around) but nothing very clear, just general playing.

Run_to_da_hills

Seeing milk being delivered around South Dublin by horse and cart and laundry vans going about with Swastikas on the side of them.

JerryHandbag

Hiding under the kitchen table from the Incredible Hulk.

I have some faint memories of living in Clondalkin (near where Liffey Valley is now) from when I was around 2 or 3. My family moved to Ballyfermot in August 1988 (would have been almost four) and I remember the move, as well as the first night we stayed there.
