My earliest clear memory is that of my 4th birthday, from the moment I woke up to a couple of hours later. I remember my mom telling me to get dressed up so we can go to the daycare and after to school, which I started to do and then thought “what’s school? what’s daycare?” (these I asked) “why are you my mom?” (this one I didn’t for some reason). After being fully dressed, we got into the car and drove to the daycare, I was guided to a room that’s next to the kitchen and told to wait. A couple of minutes later, I notice a light coming from the hallway connecting to the kitchen (“what’s that? why is it coming closer?”), then the nanny, her husband and my mom come out with a cake. I then immediately asked why there was a cake, I was told it’s my birthday, and then I asked what’s a birthday.
So yeah I think kids ask a lot of questions the moment or around when they start to be self-aware.
My earliest memories were breast feeding, I wasn’t yet walking, and based on all the things happening around me the people, the birthday cake, etc, my mother and grandmother both confirmed I was only 2 months old. It was my great grandmother’s birthday, that was in August 1981. I still have photographic memories of my entire childhood, phone numbers, cars, people, news on the TV, everything. But that’s just me.
Do you have photographic memory of stuff today? idk how to phrase the question lol
