Adults Divulge The Things They Memorized As Kids That's Stuck In Their Brain

If only she had needed 8...

When I was 5 my mum took me to town and asked me to remind her that she needed 9 buttons. I remembered and reminded her and continued to remind her every time she went to town until I realised she didn't need to get them every time.

It became a bit of a joke as I got older, but I'll never forget those 9 buttons.

My childhood home phone number.

I can probably recite my 2nd grade best friend's home phone number faster than I can recite my own current cell number.

I memorized how to spell "antidisestablishmentarianism" when I was like 8 because I read that it was the longest word in English and I wanted to seem smart. I was an annoying kid.

We had to learn the Animaniac's states and capitals song. I can still sing 90% of it.

help this is against my will,

only morse code i know, thought if ever I/m interviewed on the tele i could blink this out. I've never been interviewed on the tele. Tend to use it now when out with my other half at social functions, she finds it funny & irritating in nearly equal measures.

Dude, where's my house?

My mom made a song out of our address and phone number when I was about 4-5 years old so that I could tell someone if I were ever lost. I still remember it over 20 years later.

slowamongroses

I remember doing this as a young child. Don't have that phone number any more but no doubt it's the only one I'll remember when I'm old and demented.

Speaking as a man of culture: the lyrics to Sir Mix-A-Lot's Baby Got Back.
