My earliest memory encompasses both, actually. I remember the bathroom in our house in Endicott, NY had diamond-shaped tiles on the shower wall. I have no idea what my crib was doing in the bathroom. I might've been maybe 2 years old.
[Edit] I remember my Mom was vacuuming and the hum of the vacuum cleaner was making me sleepy. She probably just wanted to vacuum under the crib.
A slightly later memory of the same house is of my daddy laying down linoleum tiles in what would become us kids' playroom. Daddy was telling me not to step in this black-tar adhesive he'd laid down. I don't remember if I obeyed; I do remember that Daddy painted himself into a corner with the tar.
Man, we moved out of that house back in '65. I've never been back to Endicott.
