Did that experience foster a life-long aversion to bees? I am amazed that you can remember so far back as I am one of those people who has fuzzy stuff until about second grade. OWW!

I remember being in the garden barefoot at 2.5 yrs old. I saw something crawling on the ground and I put my foot on top of it to feel it. Turns out it was a bumble bee, and it stung me on the bottom of the foot. I ran inside and I couldn't explain what happened to my mom since I didn't really know myself! I remember tons of stuff from that point on, and about age 3.5 I have pretty good recall of everything till now. I have never understood how some people say they can't remember anything before age 6. That just seems so weird to me. Interesting stuff!

Down comes the light. I'm surprised she felt it was her place to jump all over your back. I'm positive I would have tried to comfort my niece and would have cleaned up. It is funny that she had no idea why you guys didn't take to her. I loved the image of you standing on the table punching the balloon in rapid fire fashion and then BAM! Down comes the light.

There are a lot of stories I've heard about some of my finer childhood moments and as a result, I have some kind of memory of them, although I think they are based on the stories and not actual memories. My earliest "true" memory probably happened when I was around 4 or 5. There must have been some sort of party at my parent's house as there were balloons tied to the glass chandelier in our living room. Well I was using the balloons as a punching bag and some how knocked one of the glass lamp shades off and it shattered on the rug. One of my aunts really yelled at me about it. To this day, I still feel a little weird around that particular aunt. My mom has commented about how that aunt has always tried really hard to get us kids to like her but for some reason we never really did. In my case, I have a feeling that this incident plays into my not liking her. In addition, in general she is just not very good with other people. I’m not totally sure what my earliest memory is.

I'm with you on the snow -- hate it! And winter seems to last a good six months here in Michigan. Yuck. And I am very impressed that you still enjoy dogs. I had a bad experience with a large dog and they *still* freak me out today -- a good 30 years later. How self actualized of you, Bumbles. I’m with you on the snow — hate it!

Gah, I almost feel like I know what that burn is like even though I've never huffed play doh (knowingly). Hey, maybe that's a repressed memory for me! Although now that I think about it, I swear I never had play doh as a child. Isn't that funny? It's all over my house now that I have kids. I'm sure I'd heard of it as a kid, but never worked with the medium :) until I had kids. The closest thing I actually remember was Silly Putty. I remember making a ball and bouncing the crap out of it in the kitchen. And then I would press it against the comics in the newspaper to get the picture to print on the Silly Putty. And then, of course, it had its cool egg-shaped carrying case. Ouch. Play doh!! Gah, I almost feel like I know what that burn is like even though I’ve never huffed play doh (knowingly).

However, I'm sure there's some less than stellar stuff tucked away in my head and I'd like to keep it tied up sitting on a shelf. Like you, I hadn't heard of Carl's Jr. until Ms. Paris Hilton did a stupid commercial for them washing a car. Remember that? That was really lame but apparently it worked, because I remember the company. Although, not really. I remember that she did a stupid commercial. And when you wrote Carl's Jr. then it all came together. But I guess that's advertising, even if it's subliminal, isn't it? I’m still think some of that stuff sticks around, consciously.
