May 4 Today’s prompt is: Your earliest memory
It’s all snippets of memory. My young brother aged about three going missing and finding him hours later in bed asleep after mum had everyone in the street looking for him. Being in the car with my parents and hearing mum say the doctor said she should be in the hospital. The next morning she wasn’t in her bed, and I had a sister.
My dad’s family lived in Sydney, we lived in the country, and we’d visit at Christmas, meet various cousins and share a bed with them. Three across the top and two along the bottom.
Those were scary but exciting times sharing a bed that way. I find it sad that we have all grown apart.

This is awesome…it’s true that we remember bits and pieces of so many things from our childhood 🙂
Thank you so much
you’re welcome 🙂
That’s the fascinating part about childhood memories; they’re pure emotion. Your brother missing, having a baby sister, Christmas visits with family and the loss of that closeness in adulthood.
You’ve packed a lot of emotions into 120 words.
Thanks Joelle, I thought it was a challenge within the word limit.
Early childhood memories can be fascinating – if at times somewhat jumbled. My parents owned a mixed business in Botany up until I was four. Everything came in bulk and had to be weighed out for customers. I remember we had big containers of jelly beans among other things. I also remember being caught several times with a black mouth after purloining the black ones 😀 I still love black jelly beans to this day.
WEll its an example of childhood experiences remaining with you in a good way and I suppose you don’t suffer any guilt eating the black ones?
Lovely memories…I also recall sharing a bed with cousins. 🙂
