My first memory is from when I was 3. I woke up from a nap on the living room couch and my mom was steam-cleaning the carpet. Here's the thing that made it stick: I couldn't remember anything. I asked this lady, who turned out to be my mom, a long series of questions like, "Who am I? How old am I? What's my name?," and the like. All in all it was a truly scary experience at the time. Now it's kind of amusing to think that I could just forget who I was at anytime and start over.
