People say they remember things way back when they were children, under five years old. I personally doubt it, but they insist they do.
My earliest memory is trying to step on my tiptoes to see the edge of the kitchen sink. Why? Curious I guess. I was older than 5, maybe close to 10.
Seeing other photos of people is also surreal, because of how things change over time. Does it seem like they're another person entirely? Maybe they were.
I know it feels that way for me.
My first memory is holding a huge doll that I had gotten as a birthday present, I think I was about four years old, but I can't be sure. I think if we see pictures from our childhood, we turn them into memories even though we couldn't remember them without the picture reminder.
I do remember having a very happy childhood.
