What's the earliest memory of your life that you remember?

I have a very unusual ability to recall my younger days. I remember helping come up with names for my brother who was born before I turned 2 years old. I even remember the names I suggested: Giraffe or Sunshine. Once an adult, childhood amnesia usually limits our memories earlier than 4 or 5 years old.

Is that even possible? I mean I'm not calling you a liar but I have a really difficult time believing that people can recall memories from when they were 2. Maybe it's possible but it just doesn't sink my brain on a personal level.

OP

My earliest memory is from when I was four. In my dad's car, it was brown. Very foggy memory of the car breaking down and me seat belted in the back seat. That's all, a 10 second memory.

I asked my dad many years later if he ever owned a brown car and sure enough he did. He said it was 1990, 4 years after I was born.
