do you still remember the people in your life when you were like 5 years old?

I started walking and talking at 7 mths old...by 12 mths old I was using sentences and running, and using stairs. I think the sooner in life you can put your life's happening to words, sort of like a mental filing system, the sooner you can build those memories.....I think this is why I have vivid clear, movie like memories, hundreds of them, from younger than 12 months old, and even more from the years that followed.
The pattern on the vinyl floor in our kitchen as I bled from the forehead onto it, my dad's car right down to the hubcaps that were on it, eating earwigs in Tobermory with the girl next door named Jennifer, standing under the water tap on the side of our house mid winter and being covered in ice and water, drinking a can of BBQ lighter fluid and being rushed to the Dr's and having stomach pumped, a car falling off of a transport truck car hauler in front of our car in traffic during a torrential downpour, while I was standing up in the backseat of our old Pontiac and eating a Milk Bone (seat belts? what were those?) all at the same time, peeing on my bedroom floor and trying to soak it up with pajamas so my Mom wouldn't find out.....and many many more.

Because this forum, and some of the people on it, never cease to amaze me...

I think I'll start a thread titled "do you remember your favorite fruit when you were five?"

Because even if you do, do really think anyone cares to hear about it?
