I can remember climbing into my little sister's crib in the morning to play with the Winnie the Pooh mobile that hung from the ceiling. Not sure how old we were but she at least still slept in a crib and we're a year apart. [Reply]
I remember seeing a new face with a new voice. As I got older, I realized that the face and voice belonged to my Uncle Dave. My parents tell me there's no way, as I would have only been six weeks old. Don't remember anything else from that time, but I ended up being pretty close to my Uncle. [Reply]
I remember being in my crib, mad at the world, then getting excited because I found a smartphone in there so I could check my E-trade account. Kinda fuzzy, but pretty sure it happened. [Reply]
I remember when I was 4 and my dad took me to the farm . I'll never forget the feeling of latex on my hand for the first time. I'll never forget the smell of stale boar urine soaked wood shavings. When I was 5 I killed my first rat. Good memories. [Reply]
Interesting that this was bumped because I was just thinking about this a couple of days ago.
My OP mentioned something that was an early memory, but I also remember being a toddler (maybe 2 or 3) and asking my mom about going to school (it was a preschool or church school). She was doing something at the dining room table and I remember it was pouring rain outside and very dark. I'm not sure which was first, the OP memory or this memory. [Reply]
I have quite a few memories in the 2-4 age range. A few stick out
My mom was at a dentist appointment and I wandered off into the bathroom. Sprayed my eyes with some sort of cleaning spray. I was mesmerized by the "mist" coming out. Ended up going to the ER to get them flushed.
My dad was taking my mom to work at the hospital one day, and I remember going downhill on this super icy street in Enid. They used to have one of those old Toyota vans. Anyways, we hit ice and wrecked. Nobody hurt but I remember thinking it was fun.
In Enid, we lived in a newly developed neighborhood and across the street was nothing but farmland. There was a tornado in the fields. Everyone, including my family, was standing outside just watching it go across the fields and out of sight.
The old man picking me up so I could jerk the whistle cord,& blow the whistle on who knows which steam locomotive? I have great memories riding in the cabs of many different steam locomotives around the country at the age of 3 on up.
God I miss him so much! [Reply]
It was a November day nearly 50 years ago. My family and I were having a picnic on the a grassy area. It was a festive day, as the crowd was awaiting the arrival of the Presidents motorcade. It was just after noon and I could see it, I could see the limo and there he was, our nations young President. My dad lifted me on his shoulders and I looked at my mother smiling with such joy. Then, suddenly, I heard a loud firecracker and instantly I saw my mothers face to turn to horror. As I turned my head back toward the limo another shot, an explosion of blood and brains, and a fine, disgusting mist showered my face. My mouth was open so a horrible acidic taste nearly caused me to vomit. I................oh wait, im sorry I was thinking about something else. That didn't happen. Forget I said it. [Reply]
