Questions to ask Grandma about how she met grandpa
Good questions about how she met grandpa are specific and easy to picture, and they ask for a story rather than a fact. Start with: How did you meet Grandpa? What was your first date? What made you like each other? Then let Grandma's answers lead to the next question.
How to ask so the stories keep coming
Ask one question per call, not ten. Follow up with "what happened next?" Write down the answers or record them (with permission): they're the start of a family story bank.
