In reply to What's your earliest memory?, posted by TexasChic on January 31, 2006, at 21:22:36
My earliest memory is just a flash, but it also led to injury. I remember walking down the hallway (toddling, probably), and seeing newspapers on the floor. They were hardwood, and we were moving into the house, so the papers were protecting the floors. Apparently that day I feel down the basement stairs because someone left the door open and I wasn't being watched like a hawk.
I also remember bits and pieces of surgery/hospitalization from when I was probably 2 and a half. All my earliest memories are just flashes..lasting just a few seconds, and they are usually of more significant events.

Hey, we must be near the same age, or maybe we were neighbors and watched TV together! :)Oh, theme songs I remember:

Of course, she was really just reading off random names.I did the same thing....I never did get to hear my name. Probably missed it. It was not all that common then, though. I LOVED that part. My sis and I used to play it with a tennis racket.
