What is your earliest memory?

[retromike22]

I remember rearranging the encyclopedias at my grandma's house. She had placed them out of order, and had asked me to correct it since I had learned the alphabet by that point. I was around 3 years old.

Fun fact: This is the only memory I have that takes place in the 1980s.

Breaking my leg when I was 3.

Reading Thomas the Tank Engine in the middle of the living room when I was two.

I also remember getting my face scratched up by my cat then.

Watching some Mets game at my grandparents' house in New York sometime when I was 3.

Being stepped on my ankle when I was either three or four... I don't know anymore how it occured, but I remember that it happened, and that it was while we were on holiday...

I guess it's rolling down the fourteen steps to our home basement in some contraption with wheels when I wandered too close to the top of the staircase.  I was probably 3.  Luckily for me, I landed upright in the basement.  Or maybe I didn't...which would explain a lot about me.

My family moved when I was not quite 5 up north to the chilly clime of South Carolina from Florida.  I have several memories from Florida, which I can't place in chronological order, but the one most relevant to this forum is when I accompanied my mother into a voting booth for some election. (Probably the 1970 midterm, but whether it was the primary or the general election I have no idea.)

Being at my grandparents' house and getting out of bed to go into the living room and steal some crayons out of a drawer. I was stopped in my tracks, alas.

I was around three years old.  My dad was watching Star Wars on VHS.  I watched it with him, I remember being fascinated by the lightsabers and how different characters had different color lightsabers.  When I saw the Death Star explode I thought it was over, but then my dad showed me that there was another episode.  And after that there was another.  I was shocked to learn that Darth Vader was Luke Skywalker's father and Darth Vader killing the Emperor was also surprising.  This was either in 1999 or 2000 I don't remember.
