What is your earliest memory?

I was 2.5 years old.

Can recall with precise detail where I was, with who, on which situation and even what clothing everyone, including me, was wearing.

An added note:

Memory development is tied with the development of language capabilities. This means the earlier one becomes capable of speech, the earlier conscious memories start to set.

I remember my mom sitting at the piano, feeling awe, and telling her she must be a zillion years old

It might be a false memory because how tf would I know the word “zillion” at that age

Laying in a crib crying while there was a full moon. I legit can’t tell if it was a lucid dream.

A friend of mine has what we are pretty sure is a legitimate cradle memory. When he was born his skull was asymmetrical. Enough that he wore some kind of a head brace in the cradle (it must have worked because he was a model for a number of years lol). I was there when he told his mother about it (assuming it was a dream or something) and she basically confirmed the memory and that they had never told him about it assuming he wouldn’t remember.
