I was asked this tonight. Because of my birthdate. They said they remember the liberty train 🚂 and I should remember something that can mark around what my possible age could be. Ok so my oldest memory is Reagan getting shot. I think eighties. Don't really help. Everything I find says my birthday mid to early 70's
My memory is pretty good, I have memories when I was 3,4,5 of my mom blistering my butt on a great many occasions for not obeying the 4th commandment, Thou shalt honor thy father & thy mother", topping over the aquarium & watching guppies swim through the seams in the rugs, & going to Church in our little sailor suits & being told to listen to the pastor when we didn’t my dad would pill my ear & say "do you want me to take you to the narthex" just the threat was good enough. But mom was feared more than dad.
Times that cause us pain (physical or emotional) in our lives are most memorable.
But I do have more good memories than bad.

My earliest memory is around the age of 3. My long term memory is still good. But once epilepsy hit me at the of 28 until now...what memory? My short term memory stinks! I can't even remember books I read or movies I've seen. 😔
That sounds like fun, RandySherman! I can hear the sound of your Big Wheel in the gravel. Sooo noisy! (My daughter had one, except I think hers was called a Green Machine )
I remember playing in my room with yellow curtains. My mom you were 3!
I can remember many memories at th age of only 3, 4, 5 and on up until around the time I had my first grand Mal seizure and then I can't remember a thing for the next 5 or 6 years and then foggy memories for the following 10 years and then my memory is better but still not clear like from when I remember being a kid prior to the seizures. Seizures have had a huge impact in my memory. Especially short term. And trying to remember a particular word sometimes when I'm saying a sentence. I hate it. It makes me feel so stupid.
