[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I could imagine that back in the day mom might put a little kid on the bus for a short ride and tell the driver to let her off at a certain stop where there would be someone waiting.

I have clear memories from age 3 AND I've had people tell me that some of the no-longer-acceptable things my 70s hippie mom did couldn't have possibly happened-but they did.[/quote]
Yes, yes you do. You so remember everything from when you were 3 years old. Do you also remember being on Mars?[/quote]

NP - some people really can do this. It's one of the things that makes implanted memories more plausible. My kid, for example, has, unprompted, referenced a few things he did when we last visited my home country, and they were specific things that a child would've cared about (e.g his grandfather got him plastic toy tank, an event I barely remember myself); he was three at the time. My mother-in-law can reach back even further.
 
As for me, one of my earliest memories was my mom pointing out someone and saying "Look, it's your local-equivalent-of-a-kindergarten-teacher from last year!" and then having a pleasant chat with the lady. I would have sworn I had never seen that person before in all my life. [/quote]
