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 have dreams that I am U Boat captain at least once a week. Sometimes four nights a week.
I was speaking sentences from the age of six months. I also was reading books from a very early age.

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.

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

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 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.

I can remember almost every bit of dialog from nearly every movie I've ever seen, but I can't remember what I said last night.

Perhaps you were quoting a movie last night...?

Nah, if that was the case, I'd remember it.
