What's your first memory on Earth? (or i guess alive)?

[bleeding_heart_show]

I have not heard this question since I was a teenager in a psychiatry clinic. I think I made something up about getting a birthday card with a dinosaur on it because I was unprepared for the question.

My actual first memory is hard to pin down, but after thinking for a bit I believe it was choking on a hard candy. I was either 5 or 6. I can vividly recall the way it fell to the ground and shattered when I coughed it up.

JFK assassination 11/22/1963. I was 1.5 years old. My parents and grandparents crying all day and the next day.

My earliest memory is probably the time my parents took me on a vacation to the Korfu island and my dad held me up so that I'll be able to reach that arcade machine in our hotel

The tv falling on 3 year me because I decided to swing on the door of the tv stand
I wished that I was crushed to death
It would have saved me a lot of trouble in life

I was about 3 and a half and remember being taken by my father to a strike meeting being held because the factory was closing down and everyone was going to lose their jobs.
