Language and Thought

I am a person of very bad memory capacities. To be honest, I personally do not remember anything earlier than age, 5 or 6. However, my family has told me stories of what I use to do. I would associate flashing blue & red lights as police catching a bad guy. A ding-dong sound would mean someone is at the door but do not open it.  A ringing telephone would indicate that I needed to let mom or dad know that someone wanted to talk.
