“What was it like when they took their first steps?”

Why this question

Where you were. Whether it happened when you were watching or not. The feeling in the room.

Capturing it in voice

• ·If a sibling wanders in mid-recording, keep going. The interruption is the memory.
• ·Answer it yourself first, then ask them the same question and keep both. Two voices, one moment.
• ·You don't need quiet. You need now. Record it in the car, on the walk to school, at the foot of the bed.
