I don't remember the first sound I heard. The first memory I have in general though is being bathed in the sink as a baby. I remember getting mad because I didn't want to get out of the water, which is weird as I always forget babies have the capacity to actively think "I'm mad and don't like this".

I remember how a lot of clothes smelled when I was a kid. My overalls and the onesie I used to wear had specific smells.

What is your first memory?

Probably from the radio. A Four Seasons song (maybe "Sherry Sherry," maybe "Big Girls Don't Cry"). Probably around the age of 2.

I was fed in a high chair, retrospectively, until I was 5 years old. I was dressed until I was 6.

I remember, sometimes, new clothes stunk----especially if they came from the store Alexander's.


Did you throw stuff from shelves in supermarkets?

I have two memories but I'm not sure which is first.

1) Being in a crib in the parlour at what I think was my grandparents' house. I was looking at a stuffed penguin across the room and trying to make it teleport to me. I was very upset that it wasn't moving. I felt like it should, like I had teleported things in the past.

2) Climbing in my granddad's workshop which was in the meadow behind our house. It was like a junkyard with broken appliances and car parts. Even the windows were broken and dusty. I remember the smell of tar and dust, and the light coming in the windows. I used to go there alone and climb up on the roof even when I was 3 or 4. At this time I saw a broken glass shower door that I wanted to take home, because it had cartoon fish engraved in it. I was thinking that I wasn't like other kids, and I felt alienated from my body.

Probably taking a bath in a sink....accompanied by the smell of vomit.

Ever sleepwalk?

I was able to eat not in a high chair as a toddler, but I demanded to be able to sit in one until I was around 4. I was able to even climb into it myself after awhile.

I also think I have memories of being in my crib and looking at decorations in my room. I had fully developed, colour vision so I wasn't a very young infant.

I thankfully don't sleepwalk.

Do you talk in your sleep?

Nope, that's impossible sleeping and walking.

Yes I sometimes do.

Same question?

I sleepwalked a few times---last time I was 7. I had pinkeye at the same time.

I don't believe I talk in my sleep.

Same question.

No I never threw things in supermarkets. I did have meltdowns though. My worst was at London Bridge in Arizona.

I take Ambien every night and it gives me amnesia. I don't know if that would be considered sleepwalking. In the morning I look at whatever I did the night before including WP posts, and I don't remember any of it. I've learned to stay in bed and log off after I take it.

I mumble and squeak in my sleep.

same question

I don't think I talk in my sleep. I've taken Benadryl to sleep before and people have woken me up for a few minutes to help them do things, I don't even remember doing those things.

Did you have an object you were attached to as a child?

My Tickle. I'm still attached to it.

same question

I still have the baby blanket I was attached to. It's the only object I'd genuinely be distraught over losing as it's irreplaceable. I am totally an adult. lol

Have there been any video games that you've played and enjoyed playing?

I played Pac Man or Ms Pac Man in a flower shop in the early 80s. Other than that, all I remember playing is Asteroids and Centipede. They were pretty fun actually.

same question

When I was a little kid I loved playing Earthworm Jim and Dig Dug.

Are you good at growing plants?

Not at all. I have a soil phobia. I have a gardener and landscapers for outside. Indoors, I have a dead spider plant and a little sprig of bamboo that's almost dead.

same question

I am okay at growing plants. If I remember to water them.

Do you have a lot of varied topics that you're interested in, or just a few?

I'm interested in many things----more academic than practical

Same question.
