What I believed was the taste of cobwebs. Aged 4, at the local fayre. I later learned the cobwebs was candy floss.

My Earliest Memory #409

I remember walking slowly towards my mom in our big living room in Jerusalem. She’s sitting on this big step; she had legs crossed, head leaning on hand, crying quietly while watching the TV. On the TV there are people carrying a big box on their shoulders covered with Israel’s flag. White & blue star and stripes. I’m repeatedly asking her “what happened?” “what happened?” “what’s wrong?” with no answer, she just keeps crying quietly. On TV was what I now know to be the funeral of Israel’s prime minister at the time, Isaac Rabin, who was the only hope for peace at the day (with no one else since). He was assassinated.

My Earliest Memory #393

Waking up. At first there was just nothing but black and then my eyes opened. I knew who i was and i knew it was time to get ready for school, but i didn’t know why. My mom walked me to school and I remember just looking at the ground trying to remember why we were doing this routine and trying to remember what happened before all of this, but i couldn’t. it was like life just started when i woke up, but i had forgotten anything before that day. I was only 4 years old.

My Earliest Memory #424

I was three, four or five. At Cape Cod in the winter when it’s snowy. A fight with snow ends and we went to go get warm. I smiled and my father said, “Monty, what happens to your tooth?”

My Earliest Memory #423

I was about 2 or 3 years old and I was sitting there watching TV at my Grandma’s house. My mom and dad were there and I saw the little buttons on the TV so i tried to pick them off but my dad put the coffee table in front of the TV. But I still got to them so they just let me do it till they were gone and I couldn’t do it anymore.

My Earliest Memory #422

I was only in 3rd grade and 8 yrs old at the time this happened. I first joined my school’s boys and girls club and we went to the computer lab. All I did was watch YouTube when I saw other people playing Minecraft. I decided to give it a try but I wanted to be in creative mode so I asked someone and instead of switching from Survival to Creative, I only typed in creative under survival mode. I wanted to fly and someone had to do it for me. Now I know lots more about the game and how I might start a YouTube channel.

I was five and I went to be babysat by my mom’s friend. When I was being babysat, I watched TV and played video games with her son. Also, one time they bought me McDonald’s on my last day there.
