Two Holidays

Was your memory ever a memory, or something you built and kept?

Two Holidays

You and your sister both remember the week in the caravan. You remember rain for six days and your dad furious about the awning. She remembers sun, and a dog on the beach, and dad laughing. You've each told your version for twenty years. Then you find the photos. Hers match.

Was your memory ever a memory, or something you built and kept?

Then ask

  • What would it take to make you drop your version, honestly?
  • If the photos matched yours instead, would you push her to give hers up?
  • Is there something you'd refuse to check, in case it went the same way?

The classics and some new ones. A scenario, the question it forces, and the follow-ups that make it bite.
