I have a memory when I was 3ish. I fell off and tumbled down the slide. I was shitscared of that one slide. By the time I started preschool it was replaced with plastic stuff.

As polite people do, we all nodded and said how amazing that was and then called them retarded when they weren't around. I know someone who insists that they remember being born, including the part where they weren't breathing at first and had to be resuscitated. Then again, that person is 10 years old, and had to go pout when I called her out on it.

I remember in the 90s Rosanne was on a talk show claiming she remembered being sexually abused in her crib. And it was common in the Satanic Panic of the 80s for people who were spreading the word claiming they remember as babies being involved in Satanic Rituals.

I thought I could remember being 2, but I recently read that when your memory is super elastic and false memories are really, really common. So, I may not remember being 2, but I remember remembering being 2.

Memories are actually hilariously unreliable. Did you know that iirc each time you recall a memory you move it from your brain's long term storage to its working memory? The latter is way less reliable and the memory always gets at least a little altered before being saved again in the long term memory. So every time you recall something, it drifts a bit more. Which means that your favorite memories are also your wrongest.

I remember my interactions with the people at my daycare that my parents verified. I remember a couple of memories from being just north of 2 that are very clear as well. However, I also have memories that are complete bullshit that appear in my mind but others have said never happened. The mind is strange. My wife doesn't remember anything before she was 5. My kids can't remember poo poo that happened 30 seconds ago. But for some reason, I've been blessed with having detailed memory. I'm pretty sure that I remember my baptism at about 1, but it might be a fabricated memory. Who can say. I remember being very young and getting water up my nose and thinking, what did I do to deserve this? Maybe it was a different event. /CSB

I very clearly remember poo poo that happened when I was 3. But checking my memory against people who I knew in high school, a mere 15 or so years ago, has proven that my memories are complete bullshit, so I rather think those memories of 33+ years ago are even more bullshit and I totally made them up, including the girl who I was convinced I was destined to marry. Memory is bullshit, no matter how clearly you think it was and no matter how good everything could have been.

My earliest memory is of my dad playing Super Mario Bros. 3, so I have no idea how accurate it is or when it was. The first actual concrete memory I have is of my first day at school. Everything before that is basically just video games, because even as a baby I was a useless piece of poo poo.

It's physically impossible for a 3 year old to climb inside a crib and flip a baby over then climb back out again. I can clearly remember climbing out of my crib as a 3 year old, and I have memories of colouring my feet with textas in the 3 year olds room at child care. I also have a very small glimpse of a memory of my dad smoking at my cousins house. He stopped smoking before I could walk, dunno how old that is. That ones not much of a memory, its like an old faded photo in my mind, but still.

Can confirm that three-year-olds are capable of being loving ninjas with cribs. My nephew got a big-boy bed at three because there was no point in keeping him somewhere he constantly climbed out of.

There are different types of memories, and typically the ability to form episodic memories - memories that retain the who/what/where/when - doesn't grow in until after toddlerhood, but it's not uncommon for an early one to form due to trauma or just the brain testing things out. In the totally-made-up-let's-hope scenario on imgur, it's possible he remembers his parents discovering the body since that's traumatic, but it would still likely be a false memory of actually flipping the baby over, since there was nothing special about that memory until after the fact.

I very vividly remember making GBS threads myself extremely messily when I was 3. It's one of my earliest memories, actually. I'm talking like really, really bad. As in "don't even bother trying to salvage the pants" bad. The other thing I remember from being 3 and 4 was failing to learn that touching hot things is a bad idea for an unreasonable amount of time. ... That's my story.

I remember my family's swing set, the neighbor's pool, my dad patching a wall, and our basement stairs from when I was 3. They are very disjointed memories, however, and I can tell you that parts of them have changed. Like although I can remember playing on the stairs, the way they look is not based on the actual stairs we had. The wall patch memory is even worse. I remember it as a hole large enough that I could hide in it. In reality, it was a very small hole. The swingset was pretty sweet, though.
