Post your memories.

My earliest memory that I can remember clearly is actually from kindergarten. It was my turn to ring a bell signalizing that it was lunch time. No clue why that memory is so strong.

You wathced Detective Conan as a kid? That's SO AWESOME :D
I adore that series more than words can say <3

Umm... I never know if my early memories are actual memories or reconstructions I've made from what people have told me, so here goes:

  • Being on a plane to New Zealand when I was about 3. My sister cried a lot and I made friends with a girl a few years older than me and we played with Fuzzy Felt X3
  • Falling though an iced-over pond on what must have been winter '92.
  • Running over snails on my tricycle... and collecting hermit crabs at the beach, putting them in a bucket and watching them fight. I was a horrible kid ):
  • Burying my dead goldfish and crying though the whole 'funeral'. I invited all our neighbours and some of them actually showed up, which was really sweet of them X3
  • Going on a really big slide in Colchester. I'm sure it probably wasn't even that big, but it seemed huge to me when I was a kid.
  • Eating tomato soup and watching Sesame Street with my dad (as far as I can remember, that's what I did pretty much every day until I started going to school X3).
  • Watching old black-and-white Westerns/the Grand Prix with my dad (I don't have any early memories of my mother at all).
  • Going to a fireworks display and getting freaked out by the loud noises.
  • Playing with a magnet on my grandad's kitchen floor (the only memory I have of my grandad).

That's about it, I think.
 
I remember I was hanging out with my friends about a decade ago and my friend fell off a wall. To me, the wall seemed really big, but I walked by it again today and it's really small.
 
I remember an evening in my old house. I had a huge spider bite- I forget where- that worried my mother, so she called someone (the doctor?) and described it. I remember feeling a bump behind my ear (that WASN'T the spider bite) and I thought that the bump was the problem. I was explaining it to my mother as she talked to the person (the voice was feminine, but I don't know who it was) on the other end.
The person advised her to take me to the hospital in case the bite was poisonous, so we went. I remember looking back as we left the street, and then arriving at the hospital.
I sat on one of those hospital beds waiting for the doctor, and started sliding down the bed. I remember some people joking that I didn't seem sick. The guy nearby had smashed his thumb with a hammer. Then, the doctor came and marked up my large spider bite with a pen, and told my parents something about seeing if the swelling went down.

The next day I told my older friend, Jessie, all about it. I remember excitedly explaining how I had a bump on the back of my ear "but that's okay, because I was born like that."
 
Oh, one thing... on the bus, I sat on a bee and it stinged my butt. Now I always look when I sit down.

And another thing... me and my brother had a game where the point was to jump on the other when they were hiding under a rug or other things. Thankfully it didn't hurt much.
 
I remember when my granny was dieing and she wanted to see me before she went. The person I was staying with wouldn't take me to the hospital. :/ The lousy thing is that I have no other memories of her.
 
When I was five we were asked to bring something into school beginning with the letter I. I had no such item, so I named my teddy bear Ivor and took him in ^^ I don't think the teacher was too happy about that.

I also have a strangely vivid memory of walking into school (also about 5), getting a book, sitting on the floor to read it and immediately being sick all over the pages :3 I got sent home for the day.

(I seem to remember I instinctively despised that book, and would never, ever read it. The day I finally decided to try it, I eliminated my arch nemesis with a potent blast of stomach contents >:3)

The next year, I had to go to the toilet while the teacher was explaining the lesson. Therefore I obviously missed what we were doing. Instead of, like, asking, I thought I'd hide under a bench in the cloakroom. I was under there the entire lesson. No-one noticed. Which is terrible if you think about it.

Detective Conan KICKED ASS.

I remember bits and pieces of things from as far back as about half a year to a year and a half old (What our the living room of our old house we moved out of when I was about one looked like, my brother and sister going outside to collect hail in a cabin we used to go to for a week of the year while I was in some baby thing on the table, reading the first thing I read at age one and a half, things like that) but I can't think of what the earliest thing I remember clearly is right now. I know when I was two I played my first video game, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, and at age three I got the first two to actually belong to me: Spyro the Dragon and Pokemon Red. I also remember a very cute guy named Josh or something by brother used to be friends with back when I was five.

In first grade once, a hyper kid kept talking and had to go out into the hall, and the substitute teacher as well as the rest of the kids forgot about him, so he was there for about two hours until we went to recess.

Last night while examining patterns on the wall I suddenly remembered sitting at the bar in the kitchen of my old house, looking at the swirly wood patterns on the kitchen cabinets.
My memories are all so boring.
I also remember leaving for my trip to the Grand Canyon and bits and pieces of the trip.
 
I think there was once an apple that was half green half red and split PERFECTLY as if they used photoshop to do it. I haven't seen it of course but I think it was on the news like a year ago.
 
I remember eating lunch at my nursery as part of the final two weeks or so before we moved up into the standard education system (age 4).
Also (vaguely) every classroom I was taught in throughout my schooling (the newer ones I remember a lot better, obviously. Also, some of them I can't have seen any less than 7 years ago because those buildings have been demolished.
 
I remember once when I was a kid believing devoutly that I had once seen a bean that had a tongue. It was only years later that I realised it was a dream.

I also remember making what was just about my first proper "friend" aged 9/10, just after I accidentally pushed him into a puddle. Unsurprisingly that didn't last too long XD

Did this bean eat everything that you put at a certain spot, if so, I've had the exact same dream.
 
Actually, speaking of old dreams, I remember dreams I had when I was about four.

One was about me trying to get through the corridor at the doctor's. It was a one way corridor because there were these weird rings that push you back if you try to go through them the wrong way. The second one was about a half elephant, half rhino being experimented on in my room (elepherhino). I they were about to inject it with something when I went into the bathroom to talk to one of the scientists who had developed an attachment to my cuddly leopard toy thingy. Then they injected the animal with whatever, and it hurt it so much that it jumped in the air, down stars and out the back door in one jump. It was really angry and started to charge back into the house and towards us. I his all of my toys behind the sink and hid behind the toilet. As soon as the elepherhino got upstairs, the dream ended.
 
When I was 9, I was thrown into a test. SATS with an attitude. Out of 64, guess how many points I got? 62! The 11 year olds tried the same test, and the best in that class got 54. =D

And when I was 4, in Reception Class, I got all my spellings right all the time! I was up to 8-year old work in 1 year! And meaning I was 5 at the time (and that work I got there was just right.

BOTH ARE TRUE. (I'm one of Einstein's anscetors, I have been told)
