Things they said · ages 2-8

What's their theory of how the world works right now?

Why this question

About fairness, about why things happen, about how people feel. Their current model of life.

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.
