No, not iron age or any flippant answers.  :-)

My cheap party question I ask people.  The vast majority of people who have
responded to this usually say they can't remember anything before going off
to school for the first time (kindergarten, age 5).  The lowest can date it
to being between 1 and 2 (she can remember getting a specific toy that her
parents could confirm the date on).

For myself, I have no problem remembering being three, and have 4 specific
things I can tie dates to (getting a scar on my leg, my brother going off to
kindergarten, my first halloween (I was a pixie), and my mother voting in
the presidential election (I even remember the house she voted at, who she
voted for, and the coat she was wearing).  Two is tougher because I don't
have anything to tie a definite date to, though I think I can go back to
under three (the problem lies in that I can't confirm anything with my
brother since he can't remember past...yes, kindergarten).

what's my name?...oh yeah...

I can definitely tie a remembrance to about age 1 to 2. I remember standing at the end of our street looking over the RR tracks into downtown. We moved from that house somewhere in that time frame. I also vividly remember the first time I saw the (...) (22 years ago, 15-Aug-02, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

(...) I have one memory I can tie to age 3 or earlier; a big yellow house that was at the end of our street in Bassano. I know it's 3 or earlier, because we moved to edmonton before I turned 4. James (22 years ago, 15-Aug-02, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

(...) Oooh! Fun question! The earliest memory I can semi-reliably date is picking up a dropped hairbrush for my mother while she was pregnant with my sister. I was born in May 1971 and my sister was April 1974, so that would put it probably about (...) (22 years ago, 18-Aug-02, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
