Your oldest memory

[Fireball]

About 1-1/2 years old. I was with my mother's mother and my eldest sister, watching my grandmother water plants. There was a mirror leaning against the wall, which I didn't realize, because I have extreme nearsightedness. I walked up to it, and thought that it was hole in the floor. I reeled back, afraid that I would fall into the basement. When I told my mother this (many years later, when this very topic was being discussed), she told me that I had to have been that age. I didn't know how old I was, at the time. Strange, when you think about it. I even knew there was a basement, and the word was in my thought train. I still have an extreme fear of heights.
