i guess i was 4 years old when the kind old lady who drove the school bus to take me to preschool gave me a christmas present. i remember stepping out of the bus to walk up to my mom who was standing by the apartment entrance when the old lady told me to wait. i turned around and she held out to me a small package with a smile on her face. i was shocked to see that and i was too shy to accept it right away. i still have the toy with me, even though its broken.
also, i guess i may have been 5, a house across the apartment that i lived in was raided by the police who were armed to the teeth. i recall the streets were closed to traffic. after the house was emptied, there was around 5-8 gangsters sitting in the curb, waiting to get sent to their destination while the police were standing guard around them. i later found out that most of the neighborhoods that i lived in as a kid were places that gangs fought for control of the drug market.

3 years old I remember riding a toy fire truck down a gravel hill/path, falling off, and getting a huge gash in my elbow.

When I was 6, my grandmother entered me in a colouring contest for Easter. I had to colour a picture of rabbits playing soccer. I ended up winning first place, the prize was a 4ft hollow chocolate bunny.

I'm not sure the order of my memories. One of the things I remembered best from childhood was my waterfall dream.

The name might be a slight mislead. I was dreaming me and my family were having a picnic near a waterfall. I fell off the waterfall and woke up having fallen off my bed.

I've spend the first few years of my life mostly in hospitals. I remember the doctors walking in giving me a needle. Me trying to escape...

When I was 5-6, I went shopping with my dad and passed by several candy shops. I went in, took the candy, and walked out.
By the time we came home he finally noticed that I was eating candy and smacked me with his belt. l0l.
The things I do for candy ..

Shat my pants on the day of class photos in pre-school. Didn't want to tell anyone so I had to endure it throughout the whole day with the most horrible scowl on my face.
I still have the photo and whenever I show people I tell them "Yep, that's my face when I shat myself"

[quote=xDracius]How do you have a nephew at 2-3?[/quote]

My brother had a nephew (also my nephew) when he was 1.

OT: I have many interesting memories but I think these are the earliest:
- Skipping 1 kindergarten grade (we had 2 grades of kindergarten in China) because I was too advanced in math. I think I was 5.
- Running home to watch TV after school and my mom telling me not to get too close to the TV because it's bad for my eyes. I sat on my little stool as far as possible in that tiny 1-room apartment we lived in. I think I was 4.
There are some other interesting ones but idk how old I was.

I dropped a porcelain glass cup on the ground and a shard was stuck on my right foot between my 4th and pinky toes.
I took it out and a bunch of blood started coming out but i didnt feel any thing.
I have a scar from it and since my feet have grown it moved more to be under my 4th toe.
This was when i was about 2 or 3 years old.
