Questions to ask
Questions to ask your brother
Nobody else lived your childhood from the inside the way your brother did. You were there for the same parents, the same house, the same holidays, and you probably remember half of it completely differently. These questions get at the shared history only the two of you hold.
Skip the teasing for ten minutes and actually ask. Record it. One day these answers, in his voice, will be one of the few places your whole childhood still lives.
