Let me see....

Well, for Christmas when I was 5 years old my dad got me and and my brothers some LOTR cards. By the beginning of the new year my older brother and I were running around being Frodo and Beregond, and I was begging for a LOTR movie for my birthday. When my birthday came I got as a present the animated ROTK, which I loved (I was very young [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] ).

After my sixth birthday I began listening to the BBC tapes with Ian Holm, and learned all about that world. My brother and I then began to be Sam's children. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

A couple two or three months after I turned 7 my dad begun reading FOTR to us, and finished the trilogy a year later. Then, just last year, I heard a movie was coming out! Hurray!

It became the favorite book of my older brother and myself, and to this day we'll still be Frodo & Beregond, though usually Merry and Pip. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

So I was pretty young. *shrugs* But it was nice to hear the story at such a young age, for I sort of feel as if I've grown up in Middle-earth...
