My earliest memory was when I was 2 and followed my grandmother into the bathroom and then saw her take her teeth out. I didn't know about false teeth so I reacted pretty much as if she'd removed her head and so I ran screaming. Other than that I don't have any really early memories, they pick up when I was maybe 4 with falling and skinning my knee, and the frightening experience of finding a "bird" hopping up and down in an empty container in the garage (not part of the memory but was a hamster of the neighbor's and my mom returned it home), and a memory of my sister's face bleeding and her wanting to know if I had a tissue, which I did not and left me with a huge feeling of failing my sister in her time of need, and oh the memory of the evil of my grandfather who dumped out my little container of dirt that had my sprouted apple seed.
