What's the farthest back, you can remember?

I've always asked myself this, and each time I get a different answer as I am not always able to pinpoint the date of which it has happened. But I think the farthest I can think back to in my life was when I was 2 or 3 and my dad was pushing me on the swings and he would say "back and forth", however I would say "knife and fork" instead. It's not only the farthest back I can think but it's one of my fondest memories as well, since my father and I don't spend as much time together now.

I remember a few things from when I was three.

My father staying up late with me, watching the same movie Spartacus until I finally decided to fall asleep in his arms. 3 years old.

OH about 46,000 BC -

How I laughed at those guys wanting to write a holy book - as if writing had been invented!

I know we are not supposed to remember before the age of 4, but I have a very clear trauma related memory at the age of 2. I remember in great detail what led up to the event. The event itself and some of the recovery.

2 years old, sitting in church in this bright blue suit as my older brother made his first Holy Communion. Itching myself, untucking my shirt, my mom kept trying to fix my outfit. Turns out I had just started to have chicken pox, which my older brother had the week before. Since then sunday Mass still makes me itchy. But that may be something else entirely.

I know I was 6 months old. I was sitting up by myself for the first time. I was in a little sink in the rumpus room of my family's home. Mom made a big deal of my sitting by myself. My Dad called to Mom and she had to leave me for a minute to go and see what Dad wanted. Mom called my 9 year old brother over and told him to watch me. He came to my side. He was wearing a long sleeved plaid shirt and he said to me, "I will protect you and not let anything happen to you."

Somehow, I "bonded" on that. I trusted my brother to always protect me. In fact, I will believe anything a man says to me if he is wearing a plaid long sleeved shirt.
