“Tell the story of the trip that went wrong — and became a better story than the ones that went right.”

Why this question

The missed ferry, the rained-out tent, the wrong turn that took three hours. How it gets retold now, and who tells it best.

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.
