My earliest memory when I was 6. I was at the first day of my class with my mom and i was really nervous. I didn't want to talk to anyone so I was clutching to my mom's arm the entire time. After a few minutes I looked up to say something to my mom when I realized that the person whose arm I was holding onto wasn't my mom but a complete stranger. I think the only thing that made it so memorable was that I was so embarrassed. I think my personality has changed since then because now I'm a lot less shy in new situations and I don't cling to my parents for support anymore.
I have a really early memory like this as well. It was Christmas and I went to sit on my mom's lap and then I realized it wasn't my mom but it was her twin sister. I was really embarrassed and I think that is why I remember it as well.
I remember embarrassing memories from my childhood really well too. When I was about six, I was in McDonalds and I went up to my dad and told him I wanted chicken nuggets instead of a cheeseburger and the guy I asked ended up being a stranger and not my dad. I remember running and crying back to my mom who was sitting at the table, and I also remember her laughing at me because she thought it was funny. I think embarrassing events are easier to remember than typical events.
Nice, I remember having something like that too. It was another memory from when I was maybe five or six years old. I was in a Chinese bakery shop where my mom was buying stuff, and I must have gotten turned around or something, because then I saw some lady wearing a coat just like my moms, walking ont he door. At that point I grabbed hold of her coat, and I was like, Where you going mom?
But after a few seconds I realized that it actually wasn't my mom. Then my mom yelled at me for running after the wrong woman. The end.

A similar thing happened to me in a department store once when I was six or seven. We were in some women's clothing section in the local mall, I'm not sure if it was a Macy's or a J.C. Penny's or whatever, but I decided to sneak up on my mom as a surprise. Only it wasn't mom. I was mortified, and ran away screaming for my real mom.
I also remember a similar situation when I was 5 or 6. I remember being in a shopping mall and I wandered off to look at some toy shop then when I turned around, I didn't see my parents so I started crying, then I saw a man with similar pants as my dad's so I thought I was my dad's and ran and grabbed his leg. Soon, I realized he was a random stranger. I was embarrassed. To this day, I still feel embarrassed about certain things, even if they are small.
