My oldest sister left her razor next to the bathtub when I was 3 years old. While I was taking a bath, I tried to shave my legs and I cut my knee. My first site of blood! Oddly enough, I didn't panic but I called my mother in to see. She yelled at my sister, but my sister already felt bad enough. I was the baby! I still have the scar to prove it too!

My mother was in the hospital with breast cancer. I was about 3 years old and didn't know why we had to go to this other place to see my mother. She would always have a small cup of vanilla pudding with her which I relished during the visit. I remember her smiling because it made me happy. It has been about 22 years since then and my mother is now healthy and happy. Thank God!

I was about 4 years old sitting in the living room watching TV with the rest of my family in the early evening, when we heard a terrible noise louder than thunder. The whole house shook and the windows quivered. We all ran outside to see a huge fireball in the sky. The next day my mother took me to preschool to find out the school windows had all been knocked out by a huge explosion. It turned out a freight train on the tracks near the school collided with a fuel tank. My mother can confirm this because I was in her hair for the next few days while the school was being renovated.

It was my 1st or 2nd full summer. I was born in July of '42 so this was '43 or '44. I wan in a playpen on our front stoop. It was sunny. I was looking out between the vertical slats at a spikey plant with green leaves with yellow edges (believe it now to be an Aloe). I can see my left hand gripping the wooden slat. I can feel the sun on the right side of my face.

I was about 4 years old. Trying to chip frost off a window when my sister and I couldn't see outside. I used my toy wooden hammer. The window broke. We threw toys out of the window. It was fun! Whee! Just like throwing stuff from a tall building like David Letterman. Dad came up the stairs.....I don't remember much else! (Maybe it's a good thing!!!) : )

I belive my first reliable memory,that is one not influenced by former photographs or family reminescences, was an insident that prompted a comming of age. I was cared for by a home sitter during the day while my mother worked and I remember being half awake following an afternoon nap in my wooden crib and rather non- chalantly having a BM. This greatly upset my sitter who scolded me "you're too old to do that!" which I had to admit was very true. I resolved never to repeat that behavior and never did. I must have been two to three years old in 1947 or 1948.

Although I have had several "glimpses" into my past most details are rather sketchy. Of all memories that I have I believe my earliest to be that of visiting the Public Library and going to Story Hour, where I met many of my friends. I wasn't very old but going there once a week, seeing the people, and reading the books meant the world to me. In a sense I suppose that is where I found what I wanted to do; write. My parents were very supportive of me, and encouraged me to work hard at everything I encountered. So, by the age of 4, I was reading better than many of my 6 year old friends at the library.

I was two years old,it was someones birthday party in my neighborhood. They had a pony and everyone was laughing and screaming about riding this pony. I patiently waited for my turn with such anticipation. I't was finially my turn ,with arms up and giggles coming from my mouth. The older gentalman came swiftly down and picked me up, only to my disapointment someone yelled she not part of the party .so down I went, crying ,crushed beyond repair,running ,running home to the only one who could repair the pain. As I aproached the door ,she had already heard the screams of distress coming across the yard. She bent down ,wiped my faced and asked me what was wrong. pleading with her to let me ride the pony[not really knowing what it was] but understanding that it had to be ridden .I't not hers ,she trys to explain,I cry harder and harder still. Findly not being able to bare up under my tears she asked the neighbor ,if her daugher could ride. THEY said yes...horray,horray...my hero my mom , my comforter. thanks.

I haven't told anyone the memory. I was twoish, I think, not yet three, because my mom was attempting to pottytrain me by making me wear normal undies instead of diapers, and I wasn't very good at it yet. I remember looking out the window in my sister's room and shocking myself by suddenly pissing myself. I was wearing a little polyester pantsuit and the warm pee ran down my legs and into my shoes and onto the pretty red carpet, and I cried because I was ashamed and afraid. It is an accurate memory, because nobody has told me that story; I was alone when it happened and I can still remember the sensation and the shame.

I believe I can remember when I was about 3 or 4, you know neighbors and the little girlI played with when I busted my chin when I was 4. But the the earliest memory containing actual accounts of the day was on May 5 1974 I just turned five years old on April 2nd. and for Cinco de mayo there was a dance. I was dresssed in white with green and red sashes. Me and some kids were playing and then somebody said it was time for the dance.(the dance was some sort of hat dance). On the way over while we where running I fell and ended up with a bloody nose a sense of panic came over me, then my teacher put a hankerchiff to stop the blood and not a spot got on me . then I danced.

I was holding my grandmother's hand outside her church. It was the first time I heard that I was adopted. I was about five years old. I've told the memory many times. I'm over forty, and I remember it like it happened yesterday.

I remember being in my crib, during the night, and crying for some tea. I can remember my mom getting up to get it for me, and she looked really tired! I still drink alot of tea today! I also remember my grandmother kept me and my two cousins, and we would play in her yard all day. I remember there was an old tire she used as a border around some flowers, and we would try to walk around the tire without falling off. At night we would catch lightening bugs, and I would pull their tails off and write my name on my shirt, and it would "glow" for a while. Then, we would take a bath, and my grandmother would rock me on the front porch with the warm night air blowing. That was a great feeling!

When I was about 5 or 6, my sisters and I would pack a "lunch" of peanut butter and crackers and go up on the levee near our house to play. In the summer there would be lots of clover. We would pick the clover blossoms, bite a hole in the stems and string them together to make "halos" for our heads. One time in the winter I was on a sled with my older sister. We were both screaming with joy and excitement. As we neared the bottome of the levee I realized we couldn't stop. I was still screaming, my sister jumped off the sled, and I hit the barbed wire fence at the bottom with my mouth wide open. Needless to say, I lost a few teeth!

In my back yard, sitting in the tall, warm grass of summer and smelling the aroma from the skin of my arm. (Age 2-3 and I have told folks about this memory many times. I think it's accurate). Being held in my mothers' warm and tight arms while during the very cold night I was introductd to the sky full of stars. I am filled with wonderment to this day (Age 2-3 I have spoken of this memory many times. I believe it to be accurate).

It was the day after my sixth birthday and I was allowed to go to the park two blocks from our house alone for the first time. I felt so grown up! Then I got so involved in playing that I forgot to go home for a bathroom break and wet my pants. I wasn't allowed to go to the park alone again for a month.

I was in first grade. One day I pooped my pants, but I didn't want to admit it, so I sat there until the classroom aide finally came around sniffing everyone and found out it was me. I was six years old and I am absolutely sure this is accurate, because my classmates reminded me about it until we were in fifth grade.

I was 3 My dad and mom were fighting inthe kitchen around a long, wooden table. My Mom was chasing my dad with a butcher knife. Then they stopped and Dad and mom stood across from each other and said for dad to leave but she would keep the boys (3brothers), I was left standing alone, crying, mom didn't pick me. Then my dad said he would take me. Felt very unwanted.They did stay together though another 20 some years but that incident was an accurate discription, my Mom and I never bonded and to this day she favors the sons, she is 81. Has always been unhappy with me.?

When I was a one year old, my demented senile grandmother came to live with us. She was ninty~five at the time and used to babysit me often. She lost one leg in an auto accident and was also blind in one eye. Every sunday morning my parents used to go to church and she would stay home to babysit me. As I said before she was extremely demented. One of her favorite things to do would be to pop out her glass eye, take out her fake teeth, remove her wig, and attempt to molest me while singing "oh come all ye faithful". Every so often I'll wake up in the night,,,,full cold sweat,,still envisioning those rotting gums smacking together, and that festering green tounge snaking out of it's ancient tavern to ravish and caress my infant body. As far as I can remember this is the earliest memory for the medication they give me at the hospital blanks out a lot of good times.....

I remember being about 1 or 2 and being in an portable rocker, my mother on one side, my grandmother's house on the other. We were outside on a blanket, the blare of the bright sun shaded by an apple tree. She was feeding me baby~food and as I watched,, a little cat walked by. I reached for it's tail and it gently slipped through my tiny fingers.....

Hi! My first memory is of my sister calling me behind our living room sofa which was covered by a white bedspread. I went behind it with her and she proceded to demonstrate lighting my parents' table lighter. Of course, the bedspread caught fire, and she told everyone I did it. I remember getting fussed at and a spanking. My parents later found out that my sister actually did it, because I was too little to manipulate the mechanism.

At my 3rd birthday party, I burned my mouth eating a hot sausage. My mother told me to sit with my mouth open until it cooled, and as I did, I swallowed a fly! I have photos of this party and I think this is why I remember the moment so clearly.
