Speaking In Relative Terms: Ep 002 – Our Interview with Grandkids
Have your kids or grandkids interview you – and then you interview them as well when you do family history stories. When they get a bit older, they’ll have a memory to cherish for years to come – and so will you!
Here’s how it happened for me:
Recently, my granddaughter Laina got to stay with me and her Grandpa David. Her parents were off on a cruise, enjoying some away time.
We had a lot of fun during the week since I got to take off work and over the weekend too, before she had to go back home. It gave us a special opportunity to learn a bit more about each other. On our last day together, I asked Laina if she would like to be part of our podcast. She agreed and the interviews began.
A lot of ground got covered in our interview – some basic family history and some things we probably wouldn’t have thought of! Laina is a young lady who certainly has her own mind. She’s a wonderful story teller and shows a lot of insight into life and curiosity about the history of our family.
One note, as with many family stories and the storytellers therein, some things may need to be taken with a grain of salt. Judge for yourself, and enjoy an awesome pair of interviews with a very special young lady that I just adore.
I hope in the years to come, Laina will listen to her special podcast and think of it with fondness and amusement. It was so much fun! Don’t forget, when it comes to the grandparents, grandkids say “Yoda best!” Make sure you’re the best in their eyes and get them involved in the family story.
