tumblrbot asked: WHAT IS YOUR EARLIEST HUMAN MEMORY?

When I was 3 years old I was playing in my front yard with the neighbor boy, Michael (2 years old).  I had gone to hide in an evergreen up against the trunk.  When I let go of the branch after moving it aside to go into the tree it snapped back and overlapped a branch next to it and I couldn’t get back out.  Michael’s solution to get me out was to throw rocks at the tree to make it let go.  One hit my eye, and I had to wear a patch on it for a couple of weeks while it healed.  Our parents were in the yard gardening, it just all happened so fast that they didn’t get to him in time to stop him from throwing a handful of rocks or to me to get me out of the tree before he tried to help.
