Memories of Alabama for me! My daughter didn't stomp in a fire ant mound, but she stood/sat in one long enough to learn a valuable "life lesson".Stompin an ant bed when I was 2. Left a lasting memory.

short story--my late father and i were standing in a cutover waiting for the dogs to circle the rabbit back to us, we were about 40-50 yds apart....as they got closer we stood perfectly still....i look over at him a minute or two later and he's jerking clothes off trying to get his briar coveralls off....i hollered to him and he said he step on an ant hill and been standing on it for at least 5 minutes didnt know it....they got up on over his boot before they started biting....learned a valuable lesson that day!!Memories of Alabama for me!

They do give a signal.I swear those fire ants get all over you and then hollar BITE and they do all at once.
I believe it
Same here , my childhood memories are almost all gone . The ones I do have are like an old photo in a scrap book . I do remember Kennedy getting shot. I was 5I have a terrible memory, actually. But the first memories I have take me back to probably 4 or 5 years old, and they are extremely faint at that.
Our car had a hole in the floorboard too. I remember watching the road too. Mama's mistake was telling me to never put our foot in that hole. Yep, I did.I remember some things my first day of Kindergarten. Around that same time we had an old car - possibly a green Hudson - with a hole in the floorboard and I was fascinated by seeing the streets & roads we were driving on through the hole. I remember I had an "Atom Ant" book (1960's TV cartoon character) when I was learning to read, and a "Bullwinkle" book.
Very vague memories (probably pre-Kindergarten) of going to a Catholic church on one occasion with my grandmother. Most likely she was babysitting me and dragging me around with her on her daily comings & goings.
Weird thing what you remember. I had a very hard time when my Mama went to Heaven. One night I dreamed she came in the door of my childhood house everything looked just like the old times. I went to hug her and she disappeared in my dream. Everything got better after that dream. It's like she was telling me to let go.I can remember a few things pretty clearly from when I was 2, and a few more from when I was three. I accurately described to my mom a few years ago the layout and furnishings of the house we lived in when I was two and moved out of when I was barely three, some of the toys I had, where I kept them, and stuff like that. She verified all of it.
But, sometimes I forget what I did yesterday.
Mom says she doesn't remember those names.Ask her if she remembered any "Stones" or a family named "Goss", both my family.
that was your first nekkid diving incident... or at least mostly nekkidI think I was 3 when my feet came off the pedals of my tricycle on a sloping driveway. The back wall of the garage stopped me. I think that memory is why I turned out like I did.
