my first memory




My first memory is of laying on the pungent leather seats of my father's back Pontiac (I always thought it looked like a gangster car) as he and I roamed the streets late at night looking for our dog that had run away. My mother was on night shift at the hospital, so he couldn't leave me home alone. I just remember everything being very dark - the night, the car. I was about 2.

What is yours?

  1. Going into my parents bedroom after my brother was born, to jump on Dad and ask him when we were going to the hospital to see Mum and Ian. 2 and a half.

  2. I don't know how old I was, but my first memory is being in my crib, and playing with a diaper pin. It had a duck or something like that as the top part, and I couldn't figure out how to open it.

  3. My first memory is of trying to guess the sex of the baby in my mom's tummy - turned out to be a sister! I was three at the time.

    I love your photo and this idea of posting about this.

  5. Love the picture. So cute!!!

    My first memory is of a storm. I was about 1 (I could already walk) and I was sitting on my dad`s lap in the sunroom (hey it was the 80s!) watching the lightening light up the sky and illuminate the mango tree in our backyard.

    I remember the room lighting up everytime lightening hit...

    I have loved storms ever since.

  6. My first really vivid memory is going on a rollercoaster. We lived in Dubai at the time, I remember it well because I had to choose between sitting with my mum or dad. I chose my dad cos I thought he'd hold on to me tighter. I was three.
