Earliest childhood memory

[TimberWolf]

I remember hardly anything from my childhood, even during primary school and later, it's highly annoying. Everyone else seems to recall loads. I suspect the late-teens boozing may have killed off a few too many brain cells....

I've good news and bad news about these.The bad news is that they say your school years are the happiest days of your life. The good news is that fortunately that is not true.

The first thing I remember was sitting on a potty playing with a big tube.

And it seems like only yesterday

I lived in Cyprus when I was 3, and I have a vague memory of the house and particularly the shutters on the windows.

But I have no memory at all of the country being invaded by the turks and being evacuated. Shutters obviously much more memorable than war.

Chasing a boy around at nursery school, slipping over on the shiny wooden floor and landing on a bracket that was holding up the playpen. It cut my backside - I still have the scar. I was too embarassed to tell anyone so I didn't go to hospital until my mother took me home and saw it.

I think I was about 3 or 4.

Chasing boys - it's always going to end in disaster.

I'm not sure if I remember my earliest memory, or whether I remember remembering my earliest memory.

I remember a couple of things pre school

Learning to read is a funny memory - i remember being annoyed at a book for having a character named Anne, who was easily confused with the word "an". Too many "An"s!!

Earliest memory is sitting on the seat attachement for the pram (younger brother would have been in the pram itself) I must have been 3 at most

Remember riding on the back of my brother's motorcycle around our orchard - must have been 2 or 3. Also have vague memories of the house we lived in then.
