My first memory is of my mother painting my cot. I remember the smell (1) __of
the paint. It probably wasn’t very good (2) for me! I also remember falling
(3) out of my pushchair and banging my head, although my mum says it was
my brother (4) __who did that. He’s a year older (5) than me.
Perhaps I saw him do it. I have a vague memory of my grandmother visiting us and giving me
a bag of sweets, but she died when I was three, so I’m not sure (6) whether
this is a real memory or just based (7)on what my mum has told me
about her. I remember my sister being born when I was four. My brother and I went to a
neighbour’s house while mum was (8) in hospital. I don’t know why dad
couldn’t look (9) ___afterus, but anyway, we were only there (10) for
one night
