Does anyone remember anything from when you were only 4 years old?

[TVFactFan]

I'm having a discussion about Raven Saymone talking about the year of 1989 on VH1 I love the 80's. This was the year she was only 3 years old so how much could she have known. I don;t remember anything from the age of 3. I think I can go back to the age of 6. But who remembers anything from when they were only 3? Especially about music or clothes. Raven is a weirdo

I remember some things, but not a whole lot. It's mostly vague memories, but there are some there.

You should preface this question with, "Anyone over 16 years old" because a bunch of 12 year olds might have some lingering imprints, or memories, but that is just silly. Raven is now 20 years old.

I remember alot of things from that age. I remember moving to a new house, I remember Christmas, I remember how I watched Mary Poppins everyday. I also remember alot of stuff from pre-school.

well everyone on I love the ___ just spits out the lines they feed them so that doesn't surprise me.

And you are 14.

In 6 years I doubt it will be so clear.

And cheers on the Vicar quote, nice.

I remember standing in my kitchen doorway taking a bit of a strawberry and then spitting it out. And I remember running in my back yard and my mom taking a picture. But that's about as far back as I can go.

Even at my age, I remember several events from as far back as age 3 - I vividly remember having my tonsils removed and getting immunization shots.

I also remember a dog we had back then and certain days spent with my grandmother.

So do I.

And, yeah, they probably are fed lines on that show, so frankly I doubt they are Raven's memories, and if she wasn't told what to say, she was probably saying what she had heard from other people.

No, Raven is still 19. However, she was born at the end of 1985 so she won't be 20 until December. I am older than her by 4 months.

I have an amazing memory... I cannot recall every single detail, but I can remember being in preschool when I was 2 in 1987. There was also this female teacher that used to come to my house every week the 1987-88 school year. The last time my dad asked me if I remembered her, I said, "Yup, I do...Did she have long, golden blonde hair?" and he stared at me when I said that. She'd only worked with me that one year.

I also vividly remember playing Zelda because it came out to the US in '87. It was back in the day when the controllers were simple for a toddler to grasp. That's why there were so many educational NES/SNES games back then and why you don't see any for the GameCube and stuff like that now.

Another one of my first memories is watching Spaceballs with my family that year. I was too young to understand the dialogue, but I clearly remember watching it. I remember Pizza the Hutt the most, because he had melted cheese and pepperonis rolling off him.

So, in conclusion, it IS possible to remember something when you were that little. Truthfully? I think that the I Love the __'s is scripted, so I agree with Jeff. I mean, come on...they had people born in 1981 being interviewed on the I Love the 70's.

ME TOO. I remember having my tonsils removed as well! My parents woke me really early that morning and my throat hurt soooooo much. I tried to eat Cheerios, but I couldn't because it hurt too much to eat. That was in early 1988, when I was 2½.

I could write a book about the stuff I remember BEFORE I started kindergarten.

I remember pre-school

I also remember crying on my first day of pre-school when I was 3 cause I missed my mom

I also rememember a few things from when I wasas a baby I remember swimming in a little blow-up pool and I remember when I was being put down for a nap one time

Yup - I remember how sore my throat was, and not even eating my favourite - ice cream. I remember them telling me that I couldn't go home until I started to at least drink something. I still remember that sip of ginger-ale and how much it burned!!!

I remember the nurse holding me while another gave me the shot in the thigh to immunize me and me knocking her cap off.

For a while I wondered if it was through pictures I had the memories, but no pictures were taken at the hospital!

You can definitely remember things quite young. I imagine more so for traumatic events.

I remember having certain things from the 80s, and I was born in 1985. I mean when you've got toys and clothes hanging around a few years after, you remember it.

Yeah, I remember some things from age 4 (or around that age). Mostly things from the house we lived in until I was 5.
- A power outage.
- A family room roof which leaked when it rained (because my dad didn't put in the tar paper properly- so I've been told)
- "The Flintstones" TV show.
- Numerous cartoons.
