Our traditions & things we did

“Which tradition do you most hope they carry into their own life?”

Why this question

The one you'd love to see them doing in thirty years, with people you haven't met yet.

Capturing it in voice

  • ·Say the date and their age out loud at the start. In ten years that one detail will do half the work.
  • ·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.

More from Our traditions & things we did

“What traditions from your own childhood have you passed on — and what have you deliberately changed?”

“Which traditions does your child police most fiercely — the ones they insist must happen?”

“What's a family tradition that's completely your own — not inherited, just evolved?”

Want to keep the answer in their voice?

One day you’ll want to hear this answer, not just read it. Ask the question tonight and record what comes back — thirty seconds at the foot of the bed is enough.
