From (Growing up Through Elementary School) Original Memory Interview Question

His Response:

I really liked dragging my blanket around. I enjoyed the muppets. I had a massive Hot Wheels collection. I liked it when my dad would get a 2 x 4 or a PVC pipe as a ramp for the cars. It's funny that I was really into cars and I ended up being an automotive engineer in the Motor City. I enjoyed Dr. Suess. Christmas was my favorite holiday and I still love it to this day and get teary eyed when I first play Christmas music every year. I grew into my name (Noel). I liked to tell stories verbally, through pictures or words. As soon as video games were in my house I latched on to them and haven't let go since, although I do spend a considerable less amount of time on them.

Her Response:

I remember my first day at school. I'd just moved to the area, and so I hadn't gone to any of the pre-schools that the kids at my school went to, so I knew no-one! I remember our teacher let us go and explore our classroom, and I saw this girl (Jaime) and ran up to her, and asked her if we could be friends. She said "NO! Amy Dempster's my friend." and walked off. I was heartbroken. But then at recess, Jaime came up to me and asked me "What's your favourite sandwich?" and I said "peanut butter" (even though my favourite was vegemite) and she said "Ok, we can be friends" because her favourite was peanut butter.
And that was the start of a life-long best-friend relationship...

Her Response:

I remember our Primary School used to have weekly assemblies, in front of the whole school. I remember that if it was your birthday, you could go up and say into the microphone your name and how old you were...
I remember my brother, when he started in Prep (the very first year), he would go up every week, and say it was his birthday.
What was the funniest, was that sometimes the Principal (she held the microphone) would ask him what he did to celebrate, and he'd make up elaborate stories to go along with his imaginary birthdays.
