I've always possessed a sharp memory, even of certain events from when I was 2 years old.
Back when I was 3 I remember hearing a conversation between two staff members.at my pre-school.
There was a guy who had been working there who suddenly was gone and one of them said "he'd been "fired".
I remember thinking that he was burned at the stake or something.
Why a 3 year old would have seen a visual depiction of "burning at the stake" is beyond me, but thinking back now when I heard the term "fired" that was always what came to mind.
