I remember sitting behind my (step)father on his bike, and my foot got stuck in the back wheel. It took a few seconds for the bike to make a halt, my foot immediately swelling up. My father was very worried about this, didn't quite know how to console me. He bought a little plastic turtle with its head swinging from side to side and I guess that distracted me a bit. He was a very kind man and this made him feel unhappy.
@fmf saidmemory, and failing memory, is one of my interests
Any extremely early fragments of memory, anyone?
because of events, i am unsure of the accuracy of many memories
the most bizzare thing happened when i was about 20 years old and had a bout of what was diagnosed as temporary amnesia caused by head injury
i am unsure of what is memory and what is imagination
@suzianne saidSuzianne, I have a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore
This is too true.
I have a similar memory of this same kind of thing, only it was in Topeka, Kansas.
I remember when I was 4, I took some wood scraps a few nails and made a rough airplane model. I then took some embroidery thread tied it to a wingtip and went outside to fly it. I spun around in circles and was disappointed the plane didn't "fly." It kept turning over. Then my grandmother called me into the house, she was crying and told me president Kennedy had been assassinated. I then asked what that meant, she explained. I was in shock. I remember watching the funeral and JFK Jr saluting I assume the flag.
Many don't believe this, but I can remember being born, I didn't want to come out as it was nice and warm where I was. The air I recall was really cold. If you don't believe it fine. True as the day I was born.
I remember lots of things when I was 3 and 4 years old, some good and some not so good.

@gambrel saidI saw old tapes of JFK saluting, it was so moving. I remember my mother crying and I was very young around 3 or 4 and she said that the President of the United States had just been killed. As you all or most of you know I live in Canada. We had close relationships who lived in Boston, Mass.
