Your oldest memory
August 2, 2017 at 1:25 am
If I think back on all my memories, the oldest was when I was about three and sitting in a closet playing with clothing hangers. My dad found me, picked me up and said in a happy and loving way, "Aqui está la niña!" Which means, "Here she is!" Or... "Here's the girl!" I don't think I have memories before that.

How'bout you?

I was about 5.  My brother took me to Ebbets Field.  I was very surprised that there was no play-by-play announcer.

My 3. birthday. I remember the arrangement of tables in our garden behind the house, and an exchange with my dad about how I wanted him to take off my pants (to play in the toddler pool), but he said no because he didn't understand why I wanted to take them of. I told my parents and they were pretty sure they never told me that episode, but the detail were correct, so I'm reasonably sure it's not a false memory.

2 1/2 - I know the age to a pretty accurate degree because it's me eating chocolates off the christmas tree at the flat I spent my early childhood in. We moved out in mid-1997, so it would have been close to Christmas 1996. It's hazy, but I seem to recalll I was acting on instinct, being more a spectator to my actions than an instigator. Quite interesting how the mind of a toddler works really.

My grandmother (on my mothers side) walking with me in a back pack on a bright snowy day while she hummed . And the sun was setting over a lake and the aurora effect was starting . That my most vivid old memory . The other is of the face of the America military medic that oversaw my birth.

I was under three years old and my mom was very pregnant with my little brother. I remember feeling him kick when I held my hand over her belly. My second oldest memory was sitting in the hospital waiting room with my grandmother while my brother was being born. There's many reasons why I am so close with my brother, and this is one of the bigger ones.

My third oldest memory was watching my mom leave the house in her 80's style jazzercise outfit... The horror!

Hmmm.  Three years seems to be pretty common for the oldest memory.  Mine, too - I got a puppy I immediately called 'Peanut' for my third birthday.

Being chased by a crazy horse and my dad having to jump over the fence with me so I didn't get trampled to death... when I was about 3-4. No wonder I have a fear of horses.

Or maybe it was me in a buggy when I was like 1-2... although my guess is that is most likely a fake memory I produced a couple of years later or got a dream confused with reality.

Or maybe it was when I was about 3-4 and I rattled the metal childproof gate to my room because I thought I could hear and see a ghost when it was just the wind whistling + curtains.

I must have been pretty damn young to have a gate to stop me escaping from my own room, lol. But I totally remember that memory.
