I don't remember much of my early childhood either. I'm always amazed when I hear people recalling what they did as 3 or 2 year-olds; I can barely recall anything from before 5 or 6 years of age, and what is there is just a haze of tenuous images.

Parents - useless! (All parental units at KW excepted, of course.)
I tried to drink my first beer at two years old...instead of grabbing it out of my hands, my parents grabbed their camera; I showt he picture to everyone I know.
I thought you were a ripe grape
a cabernet sauvignon
a bottle in the cellar
the kind you keep for a really long time

I stocked up on those hoping they'd be worth something one day, and partly out of regret that my parents made me destroy my original Star Wars action figures back in the 70's because my fundamentalist Christian parents thought Star Wars was evil. They also thought Popeye was evil. And Scoobi Doo. And ET. And just about everything that didn't "praise the lord." These were all "Jesus substitutes," for a young child who should be worshiping rather than doing something evil like playing with toys.
I still have my Star Wars action figures as well as my Star Wars cards. I think the green ones I have an entire collection of, but I'm not sure. Unfortunately, none of the above are in pristine condition, partially because I played with the figures and the cards are a bit bad due to an unfortunate problem with a washing machine leak.

So get wasted all of the time

And so very modest I don't have anything to brag about from that early of an age. I don't think I started reading until I was about 4, but, I was very busy being Tarzan from what I'm told.
i was bottle-fed. i remember watching the bubbles go up in my bottle as i drank juice or water. (don't remember milk so much, just juice or water)

i've had this with actors before, on the set,
where they get upset about the [size of my]
trailer, and i'm always like...take my trailer,
cause... i'm from Kentucky
and that's not what we brag about.

That's great that you can remember that far back. I was breast fed, THANK GOD, I don't remember that.
I remember going to the beach when I was 3. They had teepees at our local beach, and I liked to go inside them.

The earliest memory I have is a very, very faint one of my brother being born when I was two. I have one more faint memory of my dad looking after me when my brother had pneumonia as a baby, but after that there's nothing until maybe five.

No wonder you're such an intelligent and articulate adult!
