1. We used to play this word game that was kinda like Scrabble but one word at a time. I don‘t remember what it was called. Outside, my friends and I would make up elaborate scenarios and act them out then judge our acting.
2. I saw The Sound of Music with my family when I was pretty young, and I‘ve loved it ever since then.
