What is your earliest memory?

Tweet

My dad always told me that I have a great memory. He proved it when I was a child, as he watch movies, late nights I was awaken by a noise of the television, he's watching movies using betamax players at that time. He was surprised when he heard little steps because our floors then are made from wood. He saw me and said "why are you still awake?", that's according to his story, I was nearing 2 years of age then and we watched the movie together. Years have passed, we never talked about it, that's the movie that made me scared of dogs. I was in grade 4 when my dad and I are eating lunch, I asked him that I remember us watching a movie when I was little and told him that the title is "Cujo". Now I'm a dog lover, my dog just died and up to now it still hurts. Her name is Tamburie. My dad was surprised like it gave shivers down to his spine for such an early age, I still remembered the movie. Another one, I was 10 months old then, here in our country, we have a custom when a dead person is going to be buried, at the burial site, children must be carried above the casket. It works like this, on the 2 sides of the casket there are two men facing each other, the casket is in the middle, the first person will carry the child then passed on to the next person then back to the first one, a custom that up to now I still don't understand. They said that it was a superstition so that the spirit of the dead won't visit the children or maybe to stop death if there is going to be the next one to die in the family. Years after my grand father's death, I told mom about a man who looks like sleeping inside a rectangle protected by glass. My mom then told me to describe the person I told her that he has completely white hair no facial hairs. My mom showed me my grand pa's picture holding me when I was a baby, I said he looks like my grand pa. She told me that she was shocked that I was able to describe it to her in details. What about you friends? what's your earliest memory? share your story :) God Bless GELO
