As I lamented in a recent post about how a decade seems to pass by faster and faster as I age, I thought of my childhood memories.
I do not remember the names of my high school teachers, leave alone those in elementary schools. Ditto for my classmates. However, I do retain fragmented memories of my childhood. I would remember a scene, but in order to put a time stamp on it, I would need to relate it to an event.
I think the earliest memory I have is being taken by my father to a hospital maternity suite to see my mother and my newborn brother. As he is 4 years younger than I am, that unequivocally fixes my earliest lucid memory.
How about you?
