Memories of Long Lost

What is the earliest memory you have as a child?

Mine was when I was five years old and we just moved into a new
house. The neighbor kids came over to check out the strange new
neighbor kid that just moved in. At least that's how it felt by the
stares I was receiving. You would have thought I have three eyes or
something. Anyway, getting off topic here, I do understand that the
memory process is rather selective. And then there is the whole
concept that our mind suppresses all of the bad things that have
happened to us to help us not go crazy in life. But isn't it strange
because I swear I'm losing more and more memories each day. I'm not
old and I have this strange feeling that I do not have half as much
memories that I use to have.

Now I know what your thinking... All of that partying has killed
enough of my brain cells to warrant the lost memories. But, I have
actually slowed down on the partying and it feels like I have lost
more thoughts since then. In fact, one could argue that because of my
lack of partying I am actually loosing more thoughts and memories.

That's it... In order to stop this madness I'm hitting a bar as
quickly as I can. Drinks are on me... Who else wants to save their
precious childhood memories while they can?
