I realize I am amongst the oldest on here, but what is your earliest memory of being alive? I can honestly say I remember being in a pram on a freezing cold Ottawa morning circa 1950 something below three because I was too old to be in a pram. at that age.
Earliest memories?
- Thread starter Robert Mugabe
- Start date
I remember being on a boat with a bunch of animals and Noah was the captain...
Penicillin shot when I was three, back in the day when doctors would actually inject penicillin without worrying that you might croak from an allergic reaction. Don't know what it was for, but pretty sure it wasn't for VD at that age lol. I remember cuz it was injected into my butt, and hurt like hell!
Also, just a little older, I remember when I climbed up on the sink in our apartment bathroom, and found my dad's Gillette "Blue Blades" in their slide out dispenser. Having no idea what they were, I managed to get one out, started to play with it, and was surprised to see all that red stuff (blood) on my hands (although I really don't remember feeling any pain). Yelled for mom, but have no memory of what she did or what else happened after that, apart from remembering that she was pretty freaked out...

Yes, I remember that too. And remember that Judas seemed so distant, and was on his phone all night and just anti social. Knew something was up with that fuckhead.
My great-grandfather lived with us for a brief time when I was about 18 months old. My parents took a photo of the two of us together, and I recall that moment.
As an interesting side note, I've been working on my family tree and discovered through the 1881 census from England/Wales that my great-grandfather had shared a home with his parents and one of his great-grandmothers, who was born in 1798. What I find "interesting" about that is that I have had a housemate who once had a housemate who was born in the 1700s, and I'm not even 50.

Earliest memory was living in Willowdale -- grade 1 - went to a school called Brock Elementary and meeting a girl named Leslie, a girl with blonde hair- thats it. I wonder whatever happened to her. Even have a class picture - circa 1976. Wow that was awhile back.
I remember going to Montessori preschool. Since the age range for that group is from 3-6 I would have been in that age range. It would have been 1952-54 but I don't know if I went for all three years but have very distinct memories of the school and the activities and even remember the name of the teacher, Mrs. Potts and what she looked like.
I remember walking to kindergarten for the first time with my mum. Vivid anticipation of a new life starting for me out of the house...all good.
I remember when I was just an embryo, I used to sneak out at night while my mom was sleeping. Seemed like to the perfect time to tiptoe around stealing stuff while everyone was in bed since I hadn't developed any fingerprints yet. Those were the good ole' days.
My earliest memory to this day though was from when I was 2 years and 3 months old. My mother was in the hospital for a couple of weeks prior to my sister being born and I lived at my aunt's house with my cousins for a while. I have very clear memories of that. I also remember my parents bringing my sister home from the hospital.
I remember the first day of kindergarten and waiting outside with my mother and another kid said, "she's coming" as the teacher came into the glass enclosed vestibule to open the door.
I also remember in kindergarten they made us lay on towels on the floor that we brought from home and take a nap. But I was never ever sleepy. The teacher and her assistant would silently walk through the rows of dozing kids (except me) and I would pretend to be asleep and when she would walk by me, I would look up her skirt.
And so it began....
