Down memory lane.

How far back can you remember.

I remember my first day at proper school (not nursery) so I must have been 5.

I cried like a big baby when my Mother walked away and left me with the Nuns

Pretty far. I'd say back when I was a few years old.

farthest i think i can remember back
is my brother and i laying in are bunk beds
he was cracking jokes left and right
i don't remember what age i was , but it was before i was in school

gives me something to think about : ) i might remember back farther
but that is the first thing that came to mind

My first memory that can be proven that is clear is between 14 and 18 months old...
My stepdad and mom got married and lived in a certain house for only about 6 months...

I kept telling my parents about a creepy oil burning stove in the Living Room of this house that used to scare the crap out of me..They could never figure it out..
Til my dad one day asked me to give all the details I could of that room...

It wasn't til I got to describing the flooring.. Red and blue cabbage roses...
So that is my first clear memory...

I remember setting between my Grandfather's long legs playing with his copper die cast Pony's and him telling me stories in Kaw. I had to be >2.

2,5 - 3-ish ... picking my sister up from kindergarten and she is 3,5 years my senior. I remember the nuns .. Thank god I went to a different school when it was my time to go to kindergarten, lol. No nuns.

Caught red handed.
"You're killing my grand-babies!" Ma yelled.
That spooked me to end it.
But I do recall earlier memories when I was like 3...she yelled "That's NOT a toy either!"

I had an older brother who carried me like a football while we went off blueberry picking and remember looking at a field ... sort of ... sideways he was awesome

Sometimes I wonder.

Because some of my memories seem real, but really they are just the stories that my family tell about me when younger.

That happens every time I'm around family. Birthdays, holidays, random visits.
Family talks and tells stories about each other.
"I remember when you were (x) years old..." or "remember this picture? You were doing (x) and then later you went and did (x)."
For 40 years now.

So, I don't know how far back I can "really" remember.
