"PinterestFacebookLast week I heard news about two twenty-somethings who had been kidnapped by their reportedly deranged grandfather when they were preschool aged. Now that they have been found, there are reports that they aren&amp;#39;t reuniting with their parents because they don&amp;#39;t remember them. Do you remember being 3, 4--5?\n****Here&amp;#39;s more on the weird case of the kidnapped kids.\nI know people who claim to have memories from as far back as toddlerhood. Me? I can barely remember my first day of Kindergarten--though I do remember the mean girl who stole my crayons!\nExperts believe that the average age of most people&amp;#39;s earliest memories is around age three and a half. The period before this? Scientists refer to it as &amp;quot;childhood amnesia&amp;quot;--the black hole of experiences we most likely can&amp;#39;t recall.\n(P.S. Ever wonder if you&amp;#39;re &amp;quot;nuts&amp;quot;? Check out the 8 mental health hangups everyone deals with.)\nWhat about you? What&amp;#39;s your earliest memory? How old were you?\nPhoto: iStock"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
