Memories
Do you remember the winter of the snow drift?
Yes, I remember the winter of the snow drift.
Do you remember how it came up to the front door?
Yes, I remember how it came up to the front door.
Do you remember how some came through the letter box?
Er, yes, I remember how some came through the letter box.
Do you remember how it covered the floor?
Yes, I think I remember how it covered the floor.
Do you remember how we had a snowball fight in my bedroom?
Er, I, er, think I maybe remember the snowball fight.
Do you remember how we built an indoor snowman?
I’m not sure I remember how we built an indoor snowman.
Do you remember how we made an ice rink in the kitchen?
I’m not sure we did that.
Do you remember how you got a figure skating gold medal?
OH YES, I WAS BRILLIANT
Yes, I remember the winter of the snow drift.
Do you remember how it came up to the front door?
Yes, I remember how it came up to the front door.
Do you remember how some came through the letter box?
Er, yes, I remember how some came through the letter box.
Do you remember how it covered the floor?
Yes, I think I remember how it covered the floor.
Do you remember how we had a snowball fight in my bedroom?
Er, I, er, think I maybe remember the snowball fight.
Do you remember how we built an indoor snowman?
I’m not sure I remember how we built an indoor snowman.
Do you remember how we made an ice rink in the kitchen?
I’m not sure we did that.
Do you remember how you got a figure skating gold medal?
OH YES, I WAS BRILLIANT
