I remember. I think I was 3 years old. I was toilet trained but I had an accident, probably from being too engrossed with playing and forgetting to use the potty.
I remember I was so upset. I was afraid to let my Mom know.
Oh and I remember the box thing, I was so upset. I cried for days. My Mom and sister opened this box while I was in kindergarten. I wanted to open the box with Mom so badly. Gee, I am kind of getting upset about the box now and I am 27 for goodness sake. I think these little things, though they seem inconsequential, traumatized me.
What other childhood memories do you have?

My therapist has this exercise that you might find helpful or interesting. He's trying to get me to complete it. You put all your memories of trauma or humiliation into this egg on a sheet of poster board or presentation paper. Then you talk about what they mean to you. I think it's supposed to release the shame or something.
He can't convince me to do it. But I could give you the information if you like.
However, I can't say I do. I was a persnickety child who potty trained herself way early, and brought changes of diaper to my mother as soon as I could pull myself up to the diaper bin, according to my mother. I can't recall back that far, but I do remember asking to change my clothes whenever they got a smudge of dirt on them (and this at a farm!), so while I allow for exaggeration, I believe the gist of the story.

Hi Dinah, I was a fastidious child too. Couldn't stand it if my dolls' hair or clothes were mussed or damaged at all. Now I'm a slob. Go figure.
