Your Earliest Memory

Think wayyy back as far as you can remember. What's the earliest memory that you have? How old were you, approximately? Was it a good memory or was it a bad memory? (I'll tell you mine later.) Have you noticed a difference in your memories as you got older; I mean do you tend to remember the bad stuff more than the good, nowadays?

I remember them both about equally. My first memory seems to be when I was a babe in my mothers arms. She was smoking a cig. She claimed she quit just before I was born but after many years of denial she found a pic that confirmed my memory. I must have been about three months old. In the memory however I'm outside the scene watching it.

I find it really hard to distinguish memories from things I know about myself through stories.
Does anybody else have this problem?
I'm not sure it's a problem even...

Wow, three months old? That's incredible.
My earliest memory is of me sitting in my high chair, and my mother was feeding me some delicious Gerber's baby food, hehe. I think I was less than 3 years old. I've noticed that most of my childhood memories are good memories, but as I got older, I found myself remembering the bad ones more than the good ones. I'm not sure why.

Reality was more than you bargained for? After your mom is done cuddling with you reality becomes more imminent. you're on your own.

When I was two years old at the Museum of Natural History in NYC I started crawling up the leg of the wooly mammoth and set the alarm off. Police came in and had to search the premises.

I climbed from a crib. I knocked over the steaming kettle that was a vaporizer for me and my bothers who had colds. I burned my feet.
I was staring at my grandmothers niagara falls lamp which rotated andmade an illusion of water falling.
I dreamed I fell down the stairs and my head fell off.
I was 3 years old. My folks were broke and we lived with my bubbie.

My earliest memories are from around 4-6 years old. I was living in New York and I just remember vague snatches, but not sure which is the earliest. There was a plastic playground full of tubes like at a fast food restaurant that would always shock me with static electricity. I once saw a girl fall off of the top of the slide at this playground and crack her head open. I distinctly remember the blood not so much falling but drizzling from her head like syrup in an unbroken stream.
I remember my mom hanging out with this guy who brought me a huge bundle of balloons. It was so big and pulled so hard that I was afraid of being carried away. Turns out my mom was having an affair with this guy and brought me along, real classy...
My mom's Brazilian friend had a tiny New York apartment filled with these little scary tribal looking piggy banks that looked like monsters made from coconut husks and bristles. My dad would let me sit in his lap and think I was steering the car off of the ferry. I had my first kisses with both a boy and a girl in a Popples tent in the living room, but we thought kissing was just putting our lips together and tilting our heads from side to side.

My earliest memory was age 5, pissing in a plastic cup and then drinking it.

I was 2-3 years old, outside, jumping, trying to grab onto a thermometer that was being used to take God's temperature.

My earliest memory is one of these two... I didn't know the order until I asked my mother, and she told me this one, but until then, in my mind, they were like the same day.
Mine was when I was either two or three. I remember just screaming at the top of my lungs because of this really loud noise. My family and I were staying at this hotel, and the fire alarm for the entire building went off. We then had to stand outside freezing in the cold while these firetrucks came. We were outside for an hour, and I just remember crying my ass off because the noise scared me so much.
The other one was a car crash. I remember coming to in the back seat of a car, with an officer lady asking me if I was alright. I had apparently been sleeping when we got into the accident. Both cars were wrecked, and the opposing driver was drunk; luckily, no one was seriously hurt.
... My earliest memorizes were really traumatizing... hah

It would be less embarrassing if I did it for survival! It was my own purely innocent curiosity. It sucks that that really is my first memory though.

BPM III* of my birth. I revivified my birth on 07/04/1973 on two hits of Orange Sunshine insufflated. When the experience ended, (revivification is not memory, it is reliving an event), it had been so psychotic a break from ordinary reality, that I couldn't understand upon opening my eyes why I was seeing a 19 year, 360 day old guy and not an infant. Stan Grof would understand, most people would not believe this. It was pre-verbal, crushingly suffocating, primally terrifying, and yet powerfully polymorphously sexual. The Eros balanced the Thanatos, Life outweighed Death.
After that: Being held by one of my parents as a baby and receiving my first injection, probably polio vaccine. I screamed, and my mother said "Oh, the doctor accidentally stuck you with his pen." I knew that old glass syringe with the needle was no pen.

I have 2 and I'm not sure which is the earlier...
One being: laying in bed and my teddy bear falling apart then running out to my parents screaming and crying... very traumatic
The other was crapping my pants while there was some sort of party on at our place. My mum took me to the toilet and emptied the contents of said pants into the toilet... gotta love mums!

I can't call upon my earliest memory. My memories trigger depending on what is going on in reality. If something going on can trigger my earliest memory then it will.
