Things they said · ages 2-8

Is there a word or phrase they've coined that's become part of your family language?

Why this question

The ones that stuck. How they started. Whether they know they made it up.

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.
