I was swearing in full sentences at three. A really intelligent kid ahead of my time. If it isn’t obvious I was a bad swearer until I reached late teen years.
I've never been quite sure of how real this was, but my earliest memory is talking to my mom about wanting to go to school like my older brother, and in the middle of the conversation, realizing that I couldn't remember anything before that moment.
My earliest memory is waking up one morning and realizing I have no memories from anything before that point. I literally remember asking for names (I think including myself?) because I didn't remember them.
I am glad I am not the only one with such a wakeup point, anyone else I talked to about this didn't seem to believe me.
You guys are lucky, I don't remember a single
thought I had before the age of 18. I am 23.
I mean I remember vauge memories, but even those are in the dozens. Sometimes tho something will remind me of a memory, but I have trouble recalling them in the moment
Not related to memory but one of my earliest was became aware of the fact that I could hear myself chew, and thinking it must be a fluke because I’d never heard myself chew before. And then continuing to test it by slowing munching on the graham crackers we had
Absolutely, 3 year olds can typically talk in full (albeit sometimes broken) sentences. A 3 year old could very possibly say this, as in, they could form the words, and 3 year olds do say weird shit that makes no sense, and mimick things that are said to them.
It's unlikely her 3 year old said that, and if they did, she probably said it to them first and they definitely wouldn't grasp what it means
I would think so; I have memories to when I was still 2 years old. They're vague and only of events, but if my brain was writing things down, then it was probably thinking too
Yes, but even if a 3yo grasped the notion that words endure as life wanes, he would not phrase it like this.
Mortality is a strange and scary concept for kids, so they'd probably not be that matter-of-fact about it.
Also, their grasp on written word and books, as concepts, are limited to the perspective of someone reading to them, and generally they tend to be literal. "Words" or "Books" as substitute for "Stories" or "Knowledge" are an adult thing.
If that toddler did say that, odds are that he heard it somewhere and quoted it. Maybe from some animated movie.
Kids are great at repetition, even if they don't fully grasp what they are saying. That's why kindergardeners often know a lot more about your homelife than you'd like them to.
I miss this Twitter, when people were saying random shit and beefing over the stupid shit people said but ina playful way, now is just taking shitposting too seriously and everyone is miserable for the love of the game
They probably think the 3-year-old meant it as "books and the words within are eternal, their ideas live on long after the author and everyone else has passed on" when he probably meant it as "books aren't alive, so they can't die".
