Wow, I'm surprised because most of the ppl I talk to think I'm nuts or have implanted memories.

I remember slicing my scalp at 4, being ran over by a bicycle at 5, nearly blinded at 5 also. Running across the road and nearly sliced my ankle off a bottle. My childhood has been pretty dramatic
 
my earliest memories are sometime before my 2nd birthday. i remember pretty much everything after my 3rd birthday for sure.
 
I dont remember a whole lot. An ATV accident has really affected my memory; and destroyed many of my previous memories. I remember scattered events throughout the years, but less than most people I know.
 
Yeah I remember a fair bit from kindergarten, and only a bit before then. 1970 wasn't that long ago.
 
To be honest i dont remember much from then except falling off my bike and hitting my head real bad 1 month b4 i flew here to Canada

Same. I had 2 grade 3 concussions over a 3 month span. I lost most things before about age 11.
 
I remember the first house we lived in when my parents were still together. I remember riding my metal tonka dump truck from there to about 3 blocks away to the mall by myself (my mom sort of freaked). Considering we moved to 2 more places before they split when I was 3 or 4, I would say I remember things from early on.
 
I remember quite a bit from when I was very young. I even have a few memories from my crib, strangely enough. I especially remember daycare and the years growing up in L.A. when I was about 5-6. I remember many of my teachers, friends, and the way that family members were back then. It's not necessarily the big events that I remember, but just normal, seemingly random moments in time.

Ironically, I think I remember more from my childhood than I do from my adolescent years and my twenties. Booze will do that to you.

I remembered my 1st day of school. I didn't want to stay in school and I kicked my teacher in the shin. She tried peeling me from my mother's arm. I remember not knowing anybody in the class and just stared blankly at everyone
 
I can barely remember 1968,let alone 1958.Jeesh. ;)

Those all sound traumatic

I remember some traumatic stuff too, like knocking my teeth out riding a tricycle off the curb (they don't make them like that anymore), first day of school (it's akin to being abandoned), getting in trouble for hitting some boy in the head because he wouldn't share giant blocks that we used to ride tricycles on (I suspect those blocks are no longer jr kindergarten toys), burning my finger (no touch its hot means nothing to a kid that doesn't have experience with hot).

see to a 4 or 5 year old that would be traumatic
 
I can remember grade school friend's phone numbers from the 60s, but installed Skype on my comp so I can call myself to find my cell phone.

Is there a Skype-like app for car keys?

My memory was partially erased by aliens. (LOL). What I do remember was the mini-skirt craze of the late 1960's, buying cigarettes for my dad at the age of 8, our first car with seat belts, snow in June (N.W.T.) and my first crush.

Wow, this brings back a lot of memories from childhood. I also remembered flipping over my handlebars on my bicycle. I was standing while riding & my feet slipped into the forks. The front wheels jammed & I flew over' however I was around 12.

Never burnt myself due to silly-ness, but I was once pouring some boiling water, the pot fell to the floor & scald the Jesus outta me. I would never forget that.
