I am with you. That said, I feel like looking at a photo when I was very young say around 4 or 5 does seem to invoke memories about the house I grew up in. I wonder if the brain is just making up the memory or the photo is actually helping the brain access some dormant region in the brain.

Further, I have also noticed that when I meditate sometimes my mind wanders and brings me some memories from the childhood - totally random, unrelated to current events memories.
