What is your earliest memory? 
Submitted by Megan.

A few. No idea which is earliest and none are particularly early. One, a friend of Mums coming and we open the door with all of us crowding round and she said she was taking her daughter to a playgroup or something and did "B-E-T-H-A-N-Y" want to come? (spelling it out for some reason, in case....in case, I dont know what...) and me being so excited because a) I had understood my name being spelt and b)I was being invited to something. Then I remember lying on my tummy on the upstairs hall with a long piece of paper trying to copy my name which Mum had written at the top and ending in tears because I couldnt write my name and swore I could never get married because I wouldnt be able to sign the register without help. the little boys next door who were alays going to hospital and how they cracked open their heads one day and Dad took them to hospital. Our first TV, and when Dad tuned it in the first thing I saw was an advert of Kia-ora "We all adore-a Kia-Oooora" and I thought it was the best thing I had ever seen in my life.A friend called Abigail who came to our house once and said "Thank you very much for dinner, can I get down from the table please" and Mum was gobsmacked at her courtesy, I am guessing we had never said that, but from that day onwards we had to!!
