I don't really remember much about my childhood either. I remember it being good until I was about 8 and then things started to go downhill. From then on I remember bits and pieces that are mostly painful or embarrassing.
I can't remember jokes that I've heard. I always had trouble in school that related to memorizing something. I can't remember dates or phone numbers. Thank goodness to my phone's address book or I would never be able to call anyone.
Sometimes I think my memory is faulty, too. I'm never sure if what I remember actually happened the way I think it did. This leaves me feeling unsure of myself and hesitant to bring up memories.
