I have vivid memories from the age of 5, a few between 4 and 5, and flashes of a memory or two before 4. My grandmother used to say “You don't remember that, you just heard someone talking about it.” I could never convince her otherwise.

An example of the latter is seeing a bright green, tiled wall while cradled in someones arms. It isn't a vivid, detailed memory, just a flash. I was in the hospital twice as a child. Once for tonsils at 18 months (doubtful) and once for eating a bottle of baby aspirin when I was about 3.

It is easy for me to accept this woman's memory is accurate. But my grandmother would say she only heard someone talking about it.:)
