Going to a Hanukkah party at my next door neighbor's house in Brooklyn and getting a pencil with menorah on it as a present. I was ~2.

4 years old. Hung over AF. My drinking went sideways after that. I’ve been sober 46 years in AA.

Being in my crib for my first birthday. My grandparents and parents for some reason were saying I might not like ice cream. I remember thinking "no, let me try the stuff."

four years old, playing with a wooden top in the alley in Chicago.

My gramma trying to potty train me. I had been trained, but mom went to work and I regressed. I can remember thinking, “How do you know if I need to go?”

Going to the movie theater to watch Batman and Robin with my dad

Getting stung by Boonie Bees going down a slid on a playground while my father was stationed on Guam. Must have been 3

At around 2.5 I remember eating Swiss Miss pudding while traveling on an Alaskan Marine Ferry.

4 y/o. Six flags over GA. Ran past all the kids in the longest line ever for the giant plastic ball pit. Dove in head first. Was escorted to back of the line. Cried.

Un-velcrowing(s?) My shoe in preschool then kicking my foot and flinging my shoe off across the room and it knocked a potted plant off the windowsill

Earliest memory I can muster right now is being in public preschool in Jamaica, age 5, sweating in a hot classroom on the 2nd floor of the school building because the ventilation sucked (old design.)https://twitter.com/Jevaughn_Brown/status/1131384361843068928 …

Being read to by my grandmother Dorothy, she passed on shortly after great post and replies.

De fantastische meneer Vos, Roald Dahl....

Fishing in the neighborhood pond, Rathje Park, with my dad at 3-4 years old.

Watching a heard of sheep on a grassy hill in the distance, like a white cloud moving across a green sky.

Standing near a dark wood table on which there was a platter of fried chicken, a brightly striped glass pitcher with bright red liquid in and plates set for a meal.

Sitting in a high chair eating mashed sweet potatoes- while watching my mom do stuff in the kitchen.
