My earliest memories are very clear, and I astounded my father when I recounted them as a teenager. I remember riding in the car by my dad's work at the University, and seeing owls on the facade of some of the buildings. We always stopped at one building in particular. Obviously some of the context for the memories is pieced together from when I was older -- e.g. The fact that I was riding in the car. I distinctly remember my dad pointing out the owls and saying the word for "owl" but being unable to remember/grok the word, for example.
Anyway when I was a teenager we drove by the building we used to stop at and I told my dad about these early memories. It turns out that my mother had been seeing a therapist in that building on campus and once a week we would drive by to do a pickup and drop off. He was so shocked because they never discussed the matter with anyone, so he figured it was a real memory.
According to my dad I was six months old.
