I was a munchkin once ... Or Was I...?
We had a fun Easter weekend at my dads place in Enderby... he, my step-mom, sister and brother-in-law, and their two kids were there... had a great meal.

My step-mom hid a bunch of Easter eggs for the kids to find... and of course I followed behind with camera in-hand...

This was my favorite photo of the outing... my nephew having just placed another egg in the basket, and checking out what all he's got in there now.

Looking at the photo now... I was struck by the thought that I, of course, was his age once... and I know I had a great childhood full of fun, dirt, earthworms, etc... but I only know I had that great childhood because of photos, stories, etc.

I wonder... why is it I can't remember a dang, single, thing about life when I was that age?

I wouldn't expect to remember a lot of details... but surely I should remember some scraps, of a few random specifics.

But honestly... as far as my memory goes, it's like I was born 11 or 12 years old... because that's as far back as I can remember anything.

And this thinking led me, of course, to the only logical conclusion ... that I am a clone, who was brought into existence, through Star Trekian technologies, as a grown boy.

Which is... I have to admit... a disturbing realization.... makes me wonder who that kid is in all those baby photos.... o_O

I can remember when JFK was killed and I was five at the time.

Hmm... well I guess that makes sense that a person would remember a major event like that.

I don't believe anyone of great importance was assassinated during my childhood.

I do have several memories from my much younger childhood.. I can go back as far as 18 months to 2 years old. Not that I'm bragging.. But I spend a lot of energy trying to hold on to memories like that.

But now that I think about it.. it IS a little bit creepy that we can't remember anything until we remember something. It's like all of a sudden we exist.

Do you know it? It's a Who song about a test tube baby.

lol Yeah...

And that's very cool (IMO) that you can remember that far back.

Edit: Oops, Pixie, I didn't see your 2nd comment when I posted this one... no, I don't know the song.

I can't remember anything from when I was really young either Shawn. I wish I oould, but my memory is about the same as yours, I can remember back to where I was about 9 or so. Very cute pic:)

Thanks LLBoBisa. Maybe we just weren't meant to know about the trouble we caused as wee munchkins. :)
