Describe the earliest memory you have.
All my "early" memories are memories where I know it was early, but I don't know how "early" they are because I obviously didn't quite have a sense of time or age when I was young. 
One memory I have in particular was learning how to get out of my playpen. I legit, hoisted myself onto the ledge and swung a leg over, and then voila, freedom! Granted, I also remember this was when Mom wasn't around, so she wouldn't know I had this secret skill. Being a first-time mother and all, she probably would've done something to prevent me from doing it again. 
Another early memory I have is of being at Grandfather's really big temple with Sis. This leads me to conclude that we were probably a fair bit older by then, since Grandfather was taking us out on trips and such. Sis was messing around on a disciple's computer- even back then, she was fairly naughty She took the ball out of someone's computer mouse- the kind where there's the giant magnetic-ish ball you use to move the cursor around? Yeah,she took it out and started rolling it around the carpet like an actual ball. She also liked to play with the little mouse-pad-stick thingy that some computers have- the one in the middle of the keyboard. And I think at one point, it came out. So you can imagine how well that went down. We/she was just crawling around and playing with various bits and pieces of people's electronics. I don't remember if it was by invitation or cajoling, but regardless, apparently, she was quite into technology back then.
Those are my two earliest memories I can think of off the top of my head. I've watched baby videos of me and sis, and there's stuff in there I legit don't recall ever doing, and there's also stuff in there, when I think back, it's like, "hmm, maybe I did do that" I also actually remember being at preschool, and there was this indigenous girl (so I've been told, she was indigenous) who was kinda mean to everyone, but for some reason, she and I were sitting on the swings together one day and she showed me the letter A in the pinebark. *shrug* I actually have alot of school-related memories- you start when you're about 3 1/2, but I apparently cried whenever everyone left, so I didn't really start until I was 4 1/2 because that was when Sis could go to school as well and I wouldn't be as cry-y. I remember doing a space unit, where we used a huge box covered in tin foil as a helmet, and I also remember playing with toy money and a fake cash register. I remember having various gurus come in during nap time to fetch me at preschool, because I was a half-day kid, and I also remember the path down to preschool was very steep, and like a pastel, yellow brick road. |
