How far back can most people go?
I remember things from age 4 very clearly....but with the exception of one small memory, its really a fog before that.
I can remember being confined in my crib and my mom wouldn’t let me out. I was positively enraged. I was 19.
LOL, no, I was about 2 years old, I suppose. It was after the war and we were living in a tenement building in NYC on 24th St. My crib was pushed up against a window overlooking an alley. My dad said I got so mad about being confined that one day I threw some of my mom’s perfume out the window. He said she retaliated by throwing my teddy bear out. Don’t remember that. But I do remember the crib and the alley. There were alley cats down below. Lots of other memories start emerging after that.
My earliest memory is of workers putting the roof on the house that I grew up in. The roof was about half finished. I must have been under two years old.
