I interviewed a my brother and my mother about childhood homes. My brother's responses are below. My mother's responses were vague and I am not going to use them.
Rebecca: How old were you when you lived in this house?
Sterling: 3 to 4?
R: What do you remember most about the house?
S: it was a duplex, located on a culdesac road.
R: What was your favorite part of the house?
S: The basement where I had a fort under the stairs. I used to keep a peanut butter sandwich there, in case I needed a snack. Sometimes it would lie there until the next day. I loved it.
R: What is your best memory of the house?
S: I used to call our dad for dinner, he had his office in our basement, and he would give me piggy back ride up to the table.
R: What is a bad memory of the house?
S: I got caught by our parents, covering the neighbors welcome matt with a giant mud pie. Mom wisked away the mud pie and mixing bowl seconds before the neighbors got home.
R: Was this house better or worse that the house before it and the house after it?
S: The house after it was fun, yet I'm told it was in a bad neighborhood, which influenced my brothers. The house prior to it was moistly a blur of a house next to the church and a huge snow field that we crossed one time to get to the clinic. That's about all I can remember.
R: Were there pets? What were they?
S: We had a couple of dogs, but they wern't as memorable as other things.
R: What color was the house?
S: Good question. I guess white?
R: What color was your room?
S: Can't remember.
R: Would you live there again if you could?
S: No, but I would willingly be a kid again as long as my family was part of the deal.
