What's your earliest memory?

[Backdrifter]

Mine is sitting in a high chair in the dining room of the house I grew up in, being fed gloopy baby food by my Dad.

After that, it'd be my 3rd birthday, when Mark Upton blew out the candles on my cake before I could and I burst into tears.

..my gran died when I was 2 but I dont really remember her, I do remember feeding her chickens , and I remember my dad taking the chickens in a sack to a next door neighbour !.....

Mark Upton sounds like a right little sh*t ! One of my earliest memories is quite similar actually, I was at my friends birthday party when I was maybe 5 and she wouldnt let anybody eat her birthday cake. And it was a chocolate one too. Grr !

mine is being bitten on the face by a jack russell dog when i was two and a half!! I remember my mum being hugely pregnant with my sis at the time and being rushed to the hospital to have stitches and kicking up a stink cos I didn't want them!! They gave me an ice lolly and then stiched up my bugs bunny teddy to show me how it would be done!! I can't remember anything before then though!!

plyaing in our back yard with the dogs and our neighbour giving me some grapes i can't of been much older than two as we left that house shortly after my 2nd birthday

Ah, Mark was okay - he was 2 and probably didn't really know what he was doing. Though I'm sure he spat on the cake as he blew out the candles! (I wonder if that contributed to my being such a hygiene freak in adulthood?)

I loved the stitching-up-Bugs story.

I always think I must have a terrible memory as not much sticks before about 7 to be honest. I can remember being looked after by a lady next door and being terrified of her golden retriever because it was twice as big as me, and I would have been about 4 then.

my earliest memories are getting lost in food giant and having to go to a member of staff and they put an announcement out, and then also kicking a girl in the face while on a swing because she ran out in front of me, and then her mother had a really big go at my nana about it.

I was taken to see an uncle and aunt by my parents. I remember sitting in a field of new cut grass and my uncle walking towards us. Years later,whenever I mentioned this to my mother, she always smiled and reminded me I was 18 months old at the time!
