My first memory is of me spilling milkshake all over me when driving somewhere in the snow, I was 6 months old. I have a ridiculously crazy memory, I can tell you what I was doing on a random day 15 years ago (when I was 5) haha


You were really 6 months old? :lolwut: if what you say is true, I am very impressed! So what were you doing on 30th April when you were 5yrs old? :smile:

It's amazing that you can remember that far back. Do you generally have a good memory right now? :smile:

I can remember back to when I was like 3 years old, in Nursery. I was having a little squabble with some kid about who's mum would arrive to pick us up first, it's funny because we were in those little plastic, yellow and red car things. In the end, one of the adults came and separated us and told us to go play instead.
But guess who's mum came first? Not mine!! :tongue: So every time my mum offers to pick me up from somewhere I'm like no thanks (assuming she will be late) because of that memory lmao :colonhash:

I remember someone wearing a grey socks accidentally on stepping on my foot. I only lived in the house it happened in for just a few years, so I must have been 2 maybe 3 years old :smile:

I remember accidentally nearly falling out of a window when I was 4


Original post by ImNotReallyMe
Most of my earliest memories come from the age of 4, and i think i'm not sure, that i have a snapshot of a memory from age 3, but lower than 4 it's very difficult, i'm amazed at how some people have retained memories from earlier than that :0 i'm going to look into brain development now lol

I can remember my mum sitting me on top of the washing machine whilst it was on and we pretended I was a rocket blasting off into space. I don't remember exactly how old I was but my mum died when I was 4 so it was sometime before then.

All my childhood memories can only be remembered in third person (kind of like a movie) so it makes it a bit hard to know if they're real...

When I was about 4 going to Holland on a plane, sitting next to my father :smile:

I remember doing a front roll on the living room floor and bumping into the cabinet, breaking the door of it when I was 3,

I remember having a nightmare, I was sleeping in a cot and so got up and cried until my mum put me in bed with her, and then i was kicking every few minutes my dad for some reason :lol: can't remember how old I was but I was very young... Lord knows why I remember that :lol:

The first memory I can still remember was just a vague recollection of being in my house, and there was a baby gate on the stairs. So I must have been pretty young.

But I start to remember a decent amount when I get to about age 3.

2/3 years old- I remember evens which occurred when I was 3 really well and one or two when I was 2.5 years.


Would you say you have a good memory in general at the moment?
I think my earliest memory is from when I was 3 in nursery school and I was sat on one side of the classroom and my teacher was sat on the other side and that's about it haha

No it's absolutely awful lmao, my memory has never been good
I was 3 I think and I remember going into a bakery to get a gingerbread man but it was shaped like a phone, an old one, and I only got it so I could eat the icing.

There aren't really any emotions attached to the memory in all honesty. It's just something i remember happening.
I remember in preschool asking some girls if I could play with their cars in the sandpit. They said no. (3y/o, I think. Some time before I moved house, so younger than 4.)

Sorry but even if you're 3 getting beaten up by a 1 year old is some serious pussy ****. Why would they expect you to cry about that smh


Even at 18 years old, getting beaten up by a 1 year old hurts. My niece used to claw my face until I put her down, if she didn't want to be carried (now she just settles for the more conventional tantrum)

For an 18 year old who needs to toughen up I guess that would hurt.

Yep, I was 6 months old. It was a Sunday and i had sunday school and we sand the Jonah and the Whale song, I drew a picture of a whale and then afterwards my Dad and I went and played on the swings before going home. In my first week of uni, my history tutor was trying to prove that human memory is fast forgotten and asked if anyone remembered what they did on the 17th December 2004 and what we had for breakfast on the 24th March 2009, the shock on his face when I could tell him was hilarious
