Your oldest memory

[We Are Legion]

This is an interesting subject to me because I'm always astonished how most people can't remember anything before their 6th birthday, if even that old.

I, on the other hand, have a fantastic memory. I'm one of those people that always remembers the most trivial bullshit over the course of my life in perfect detail and I can still remember seriously OLD stuff too.

The earliest thing I can think of was when I was about 2 or 3 and it was when I was staying at my first day care as a kid while my parents were at work. I don't remember the reason, but I remember the kids were lined up in a room somewhere, probably about to go to the playground. And there was a wall right by the door where I always was in that line. And I kicked that wall every day. Twice I kicked a hole in that wall in the exact same spot after they patched it up the first time. And I knew where to kick it the second time because I spotted the plaster where they patched it over. Looking back now, that much have been a really weak ass wall if even a 2-3 year old could kick through it. And no one ever discovered it was me who did it.

One thing that always has stuck out is my parents had a friend that either worked at or owned a place that sold Hot Tubs...one night after the store closed they had a party inside the store and a bunch of the hot tubs were filled... The adults all partied in the front of the store and they had one in the back only filled part way with cold water where the 5 or 6 of us kids played... i think I was like 4... in retrospect it was very dangerous (as I'm sure my parents were drinking) and most likely illegal which is probably why they deny it ever happened but I remember it very well

I have another memory but I'm not exactly sure how old I was, but it was around the same age, possibly younger. I had these big toy cars that operated on batteries and flashed their lights and moved around a bit, I know one of them was a police car. I remember waking up in the middle of the night and they were suddenly turned on and moving around and working all on their own. It scared the shit out of me and I ran to my parents' room horrified. Every time I watch "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" I remember that, because I'm pretty sure my dad was fucking with me and that's where he got the idea from.

I was 4 years old, the older kids on the street were playing street hockey. I just happened to be standing behind a dude just as he was about to take a slapshot. Got smoked in the face with a "wooden" hockey stick. Don't know why it being wooden was so crucial to me, but regardless I remember it hurting a lot. It took out a tooth or 2. I remember being completely dazed, holding my mouth knowing I had lost a tooth looking for it. We had to drive to the hospital, had to get some surgery. I remember waking up and being treated with cantaloupe and banana flavoured popsicles. I thought it was sick and actually asked if I could stay. To this day I still have a flap of skin inside my mouth where I was hit. Mainly because I chomped down when I got hit and bit sliced it open.
