SD's disney world thread had me thinking....At what age were your earliest memories that you can still clearly recall?
For me I would say around 5/6 years old. I can vaguely remember bits and pieces before that age but usually only if I see a picture or my parents remind me.
Like I know my parents took me to disney world and other vacations when I was super young but all I have left is a mickey mouse hat, no memories.
FUN SUB TOPIC! EARLIEST SPORTS MEMORIES!
Cats Fball- 1993 Weber Lock Copper Bowl
Cats BBALL- Listening on the radio when "Ski" Jones drop 64 points in a NIT game, 1994?
Kansas City Chefs- 1993 AFC Championship game loss to the Buffalo Bills
Kansas City Royals- Nothing significant has happened in my lifetime :-(

I remember things as soon as I was 4. I use to go to classes with dad while he was at k-state and I'd ride on the back of his bicycle to class. I also remember attending a Royals game that year vs the Angels. So I pretty much remember everything after that. Also, remember seeing the cabbage patch kids do some play at a manhattan park that summer. That's when I saw this for the first time:

Wanted to start this thread a couple times. I vividly remember listening to my mom's stomach when my sister was still in there, which puts me at age 3 years and 1 month.

My cousin's baptism. I was 4 at the time.
Was at the cats game when we tied mizzou. Don't remember the year. I probably remember something earlier, but that one is vivid.
I remember Darnell Valentine playing Rolando's cats. Memory may be incorrect, but that's what I remember.
Gonna win 'em all!

have to be fishing with my dad on the creek at my grandpa's place

Right around the time my sister was born, ~3.5 years. She was born a few months premature, which was a big deal. Also, I ended up with my first set of stitches for cracking open my chin on my grandparent's bathroom sink. I cracked my chin open while my mother was at the hospital. We went to visit her after they were done stitching me up (nobody had told her yet). They like to blame me for sending her into labor.

Breaking my arm at 18 months. Remember it happening, remember driving to the hospital and remember later having the caste removed (terrifying saw of death).

I have alot of memories of pre-school and the baby-sitter I went to while in pre-school. I didn't turn five until the very end of that, so most of those memories are from four.
The first memory I have a specific event was sitting in my cousin's basement watching Bon Jovi do the acoustic version of Livin' on a Prayer/Wanted Dead or Alive on the 1989 MTV Music Awards. That puts me a five years, five months.

You're lying.
This is the response I always get. You're lying, you made up the memory later, that's impossible. I submit to you, sir, that it is the truth.

I remember my sister being born vaguely, but I remember our baptisms even better (we had them together) and i was about 2 years 8 months, she would have been 2 months. Earliest sports related memory was playing tee ball, first practice, I had the ball, threw it at a kid, he threw it back, and I didn't get my glove up in time and boom, blood everywhere. I learned to catch the ball after that. I was prolly either 4 1/2 or 5 1/2.

pre school, 4 or 5

On the Sub-topic: I remember when I was probably 9-10ish, I went to what definitely wasn't my first Mountaineer game, but my first specifically memorable one.
WVU was hosting Maryland and dad didn't think about the fact that I was wearing black and red until we got to the Coliseum to park. I remember having to put on his jacket to cover up my shirt with the opposing teams colors. Looking back, Dad should have known better and put me in Gold and Blue at home. Sheesh, way to drop the ball DAD. :rolleyes:

I have very clear intact memories starting from preschool and scattered weird vestigial memories from before that

yeah most people would probably not give a eff because you are a kid

I was in the hospital when I was a little younger than 3. Only memory I have from that was my older sister brought me a pound puppy to make me feel better.
Earliest Sports memory:
When I was maybe 4 I remember being at a Royals game with my family and there was a foul ball hit that my sister got a hand on (one of those that bounces a bunch of times) and lost to some old lady. I just remember her being so mad. "Dad you should've tore her skin off!"
-
2 years and 9 months. brother's baptism.
2 years and 10 months. broke my arm on my cousin's jungle gym. "daddy, it hurts :cry:" (i wanted my blanket guys. and my big bird doll.)
around this same general time frame, late 2 year old - early 3 year old, i remember riding on our horse as dad led her around the field.
-
My dad sold one of his cars right before I was three years old, I remember him washing that car in the driveway whilst I was running around the yard in my Pampers. Remember a few things from when I was three (birthday party, church, Cats game in Ahearn), and a solid timeline starts to form the summer after I turned four.

Probably. But this was Morgantown in the early 90's. Probably best not to take that chance back then.

My mom reading to me when she was pregnant with my brother, so 3.
First K-State/sports memory was watching the Cats beat OU in basketball in '90.

First Chiefs:
Oct 1992, 4 years old: in the car with my family, listening to the Chiefs - Cowboys game. Didn't understand football, so of course I wanted the Cowboys to beat the Indians (which they did). Led to about 4 years as a Cowboys fan. :sdeek:

Not to curry your disfavor, Spracne, but I'm inclined to agree. I see no logical connection between a saw of death and your family losing its social status.

I remember that some other kid and I got in trouble for playing with matches at the babysitter's - that was before kindergarten, but I'm not sure what age exactly. Didn't go back to that babysitter.
I also remember another babysitter's where I bumped my head on the frame of a bunk bed and had to go get stitches. Man, my mom was terrible at picking out babysitters.
-
I can remember my mom crying on 4/21/1978. It was her birthday and the day her grandpa died. I remember where I we were standing and what she said to me. It may also be the only time I ever saw my mom cry in front of me besides tearing up about a stupid movie or something. I would have been 2 years and 9 months old.

First sports memory: my dad took me to an Albuquerque Dukes game for my third birthday. I remember he bought me a helmet with a logo on it. The plastic grip thing on the inside poked my head and I hated it (but wore it anyway). Also I felt like we sat waaaaaaaay up high and there were 100,000 people at this game, but looking at pics of the stadium now it's damn small. I also remember that a few balls got fouled or hit into the parking lot and I was really concerned my dad's car would be hit and damaged. Like really concerned. Mostly because when we were little my dad told me and my sister we were the two siblings out of 13 that had survived. All before us had scratched his car and he had killed them for it.

Like remember in that movie Steve Martin was mostly a sweetheart, but there was potential for a trip to the supermarket in which he freaks out and opens the bags of hotdog buns to make the ration of buns:dogs 1:1? That could almost happen anytime. On road trips if me and my sister weren't getting along I remember he would turn back with this crazy look on his face and try to pinch us on our legs. We would press ourselves against the door so he couldn't reach us. Good times. :D

I had this problem for a few years as well. My aunt moved to Dallas right around the time I turned two. She used to send me all sorts of Cowboys memorabilia.

Remember waking up and going downstairs to eat some cereal. Yeah, exciting stuff

I remember pre-school, specifically, I remember making mud pies (got in trouble for trying to feed them to other kids). Also remember one time in preschool that I had a really vivid dream about some Hawaiian Babe.
