Tell me your earliest memory.

Falling down the stairs at three years old.
I think I did a 360 degree turn in mid air before bouncing off the doormat and busting my nose open.

That was nice.

A feeling of disorientation
Opening my eyes and not being entirely sure where I was.
A smell a bit like the seaside.
A taste a bit like a mouthful of sea-water.
A sensation of struggling to breath, like something was blocking my airways, burning my sinuses.
A rush of oxygen to the head as I was finally able to gasp for breath.
Cold, crisp clarity as my senses cleared.
A pat on the head from the vicar.
Promising I wouldn't tell anybody. NB Last line edited in after the original post because some people were TOO FUCKING SLOW to realise what the joke was meant to be. For crying out loud...
