Seems about right. My earliest memory was being scared shitless by a firefighter in a helmet and respirator who was coming up to check on me and my mom because our house was burning down. I was 3 1/2 at the time. I can't remember a darn thing about that house. I only remember watching it's shadow as it burned in the middle of the night.
If I remember correctly. When you think of a memory you are remembering the last time you thought of it, not the original memory itself.
Ever heard of the game telephone? Same thing happens to your memories.
