Earliest childhood memory

I guess none of you can remember things that happened when you were younger than 2 years. On the other hand everyone should be able to remember some of the events in the very early school years. So somewhere in between is the point where the "archive" of memories starts. What is the (or one of the) earliest childhood memory that you have "stored" until now?
I'll start: I was born 1984 in East Germany, so I spent the first 6 years of my life in the GDR. I have nearly no memories of the life before the German reunification, but there is one thing that I still remember: My parents went to some of the many demonstrations against the regime. I saw them making signs which they took with them to the demonstrations. Then I did what young childs do: My parents had those strange signs, so I demanded one for myself as well! Somehow I managed to pursuade them to make a small sign for me. Of course they never took me with them to the real demonstrations, so I hold my own one in our house (or the court, I'm not sure) :-)
I don't know if this is really the earliest of my memories (it is difficult to order them chronological), but definitely ONE of the earliest. (Why the heck has my brain stored this?)

I can remember practically nothing of my life before I was 10. Some scattered memories here or there, but hardly anything. ( I personally think this is because I sort all my memories by importance, and most of my memories have little to no importance, so I just stored them in the temp folder and then deleted them. XD )
My Earliest Memory.. hrmm.... From about the time I was 3 or 4 , I guess. Its a memory of me on a bus, driving on the road as snow is piled all around it.
Does the walker choose the path, or the path the walker?
Around 3 years old I guess, me playing alone with a chair as car and playing with my siblings.

I can't remember the chronological order of my first memories,
but I ate bird shit and my babysitter could kick the ball so high
that I couldn't see it and she had this one dog that would lick my face.
One girl had a crush on me an her little brother puked the spinach soup.
I ate all of my all of my corn flakes. I beat my big sister in a running
competiton. I hit my little brother so that he lost some of his teeth.

my earliest memories were when i was 3. it was in hawaii and me and my mum went to get ice from a machine in the hallway. another one was when we were out and having just gained a sister, i rolled my jacket up and pretended it was a baby.
Well, I was sick when I was born...
So the earliest memory I have was when I was still in diapers... I walked into the hallway and threw up... and my mom came out the kitchen and saw the mess and scolded me. 😛

The earliest I remember is when my brother and I sprayed Coca Cola on the wall of the living room ( must be because of the beating we got afterwards haha ). Was probably around 6-7 yo, memory never was my strong point 🙁
"But why?"
"Because I can."
"OMFG, DON'T STAND IN THE FIRE!!!"
I'd say 4 or 5yo not sure though.
"we are people because of other people"
"I am who I am because of who we all are"

Can't remember my age... maybe 3-4, but I was playing in a sand pit with my neighbour who was a year older than me. I filled his pockets with sand... he wasn't allowed play with me after that :<

1000th post... >.<
...
Having quite a few early memories, I'm not quite sure which one is first.
I think it was the one when I just walk around with my father (I have some of those as well)...
I just go after him as he's calling me to come... And I'm just not sure~
I think I was 2-3... I'm really not sure~ I do have a photo of me at this even, and I look really little... So that's probubly it.
Hrodulf and Bjornolfr, you will not be forgotten.

If I had a fantasy self, it'd be a tentacle monster.
I have quite a few but i'm not sure which comes first.
One of them is riding my pink and purple big wheelie down the street and back up. I was like 3-4 at the time i think.
Another is getting lost inside a sewer thingy. I don't know if it was a sewer it didn't stink and it was like a cave more than a sewer. I can't remember what it was but i wasn't lost my parents thought i was. Boy, did I get my little ass whipped. Might have been around 4-5 maybe?

I have 2 .... dunno how old I was (probably 3 or 4) and dunno which came first.
I got really sick and was in hospital... my mom was next to me the whole time.
I was on a bicycle (maybe tricycle) and pedaling towards a busy street..... mom told me she banned me from riding for 2 days after that, so I guess I must have put myself in danger then.

Wow...your relationship with bikes is really something...O_O

Hmmm... Well when I was somewhere under the age of 5, I killed a baby chick. Grabbed its throat and squeezed. Now that I think about it, I have no idea how that was possible. I'm grossed out by the image of a chick trying to peck me as I squeezed the life out of it.... Kids are scary. 🤣
