Jonners' Canterbury Tales

My earliest memory

Posted on January 15, 2007 by jonners99

I have been told off previously for these being negative memories. I read in the independent today that these are of course the more likely things that we will remember as we learn more from them (or something). Anyway this one should be positively um… positive apart from the fact that it probably took place whilst my parents were at a funeral.

Anyway I was maybe 18 months and was being baby set by my Auntie Audrey… she wasn’t my aunt but we always talk about close family friends as Uncle’s and Aunt’s its a little demeaning to the title isn’t it? I was sitting at the kitchen table and she was trying to feed me and she said “open the tunnel for the choo choo”, after a little cajoling I did as requested. Its not an overly comprehensive memory but it is officially my earliest. I guess that memory teaches me that if someone says “open the tunnel for the choo choo” I should do it… because I like my food.
