I think mine was when i was on holiday,i was running to my mother when i ran straight into some barbed wire(which some had tied across the path,thinking it were funny i suppose ) cut my legs a bit bad and my mother kept making me go in the sea every day until holiday was over,she said the sea salt would make it better.all i can remember is the pain!! i think i would have been about 7 maybe 8 years old

We always remember the traumatic times first. My first memory was when i was playing with a paste jar, filling it up with mud outside the front of my house. I got up and ran with it and fell over and cut my hand open, i still have the scar. I was 3 at the time.

Being in the car in the dark, pulling up home saying "Who turned the lights out?" is my earliest memory. =]].

Moon, your earliest memory is from when you were 7 or 8? I'm sure that must be unusually late. I have detailed day-to-day memories from the age of two. My earliest memory is of dropping my doll over the side of a bridge when my Dad was holding me up to look over it. My Mum says I was under a year old at the time. My next earliest memories are from when I was 2, and we left Australia by ship to come to England. I remember quite a lot from that trip, probably because it was extremely eventful and quite traumatic.

My first memory was 5 and my second day at school, because I'd taken dinner money on the first day and noone had explained to me that was for a whole week, I stood in the queue for going home for dinner and walked home. When I got there my mum wasn't in so I just sat there waiting. My mum came back and took me back to school and they made me eat cold tinned mixed veg which even now makes me heave. Denise

My earliest memory is that I couldn't say the word 'crisps', I used to say something like 'cwiffs'. I must have been around 2. I actually remember the day I actually got it right.
I think that the reason I remember this is because crisps were very important in my childhood. I lived in a small village and we had a baker who would come round in a white transit to deliver bread and he also sold crisps. You have to remember this was the early 70s so this was dangerous subversion back then, crisps not being 'proper food'.
Anyway, our treat was to be bought a packet of crisps along with the bakery order. It probably depended on whether we'd been 'good' or not.
I also remember that they were Walkers crisps so I suppose I should have a kind of misty eyed nostalgia for them. Except I haven't cos they're a bunch of anti union capitalists.

I have lots of little memories. I remember my dad trying to teach me how to say "artificial". We had an artificial fire. I remember smells. Sometimes I will smell a plant and remember an incident from early childhood. I smelt perfume the other day at work and remembered my great aunt used to wear it and that she used to cook me bread sauce with a roast dinner and funny little black things in the sauce. (I only recently sussed out that they were cloves).

Losing a running race and screaming for lollies LOL Sounds familiar. I remember one of my kids doing that in Sunday School. The embarrassment..... The mums were all very posh and their kids were perfectly dressed and well behaved. My Stevie (a wild child at 3) stole the winners lolly, pushed him over and covered his head in sand.
