Two medical students are chatting. One says that they read an article that said the better adjusted a person is the further back they can remember. An emotionally stable person should be able to recall many things from pre-school and an exceptional person could remember learning to speak.

"So what's your earliest memory?"

"I snuck a beer of of my parent's fridge when I was 13."

Does it count as a memory if you are aware that it did happen but don't remember it? There's probably a better way of saying it.

I am aware I played mini golf and did fucking terribly at 3, ramps are bullshit and all, but I don't remember doing it, simply that it happened.

Are you asking my opinion? If so, it's not a memory. My mom always told the story of how I was going to attack the Wicked Witch when I saw her on TV but I don't remember it. I remember my mom telling the story.
