Was listening to radio the other day. Radio folks talk about the most random stuff to fill the airtime. This time they were discussing a memory from their childhood. Specifically, when, as a child, they returned to home from their school, who was the first person that would look for they asked. Someone called in and said they wanted to see their mother the most and now that they have children, the children do the same thing.

I was thinking about myself and I have no idea what I did in this situation as a child. I know both my parents worked, so maybe they weren't there when I returned. I had some nannies take care of me but I don't recall much about them other than their names or faces. Or maybe my parents were done with work by then. Maybe I didn't look for anyone and wanted to do something else, but I have no concrete recollection of that either.

I wonder if this is normal.

I have a few really intense memories of childhood burnt into my mind

Unfortuantely this is the case with me too. I don't remember any good or even neutral memories. Sometimes folks who knew me as a child bring up innocuous memories and I can't remember them happening. But some of the bad ones I confidently remember happening. It's kinda sad honestly.
