Here's a creative way to bring back family memories. Facebook has a similar one for my town, which gave me the idea, although I'm not on Facebook.
This is an abridged list that I wrote of my own family. Read and laugh. Or scowl, as the case may be. Then maybe write your own.
YOU KNOW YOU'RE A ___________ IF:
You know how to do concrete work.
You think six children is a medium-to-small family.
The only bling you owned growing up was siblings.
You’ve learned to play at least one instrument.
Chocolate is on your list of Heaven’s glories.
You were virtually bald for two years after birth.
You understand early that we need to serve the Lord.
Spiders don’t scare you as a female.
Books are as necessary as breathing.
You can milk goats and cows with the best of them.
You are athletic; probably have run in road races (yep, I ran in a skirt).
You started ministry young, by parental edict.
You are competitive.
You consider missionary barrels fun.
Humor plays a large part in your outlook on life (especially if you are the youngest).
Hunting holds little appeal for you.
Growing up, Blue Room/Pink Room meant the outhouse.
You’ve been a teacher.
You know what a PK is, ‘cause you were one.
You learned to read young, from the Bible.
What is central heating?
Part of family devotions was reading inspirational books.
One year your Christmas gift was exchanging names, with a .25 limit.
You caught June bugs and tied them to thread.
Climbing trees was a childhood pastime.
You did your stint on the platform of black school chapels, whether (a preschooler) behind the curtain or onstage.
You were well acquainted with the board of education applied to the seat of learning.
You have a habit of whistling under your breath.
You kept the family rule, “No fighting and no play fighting” in mind when you felt antsy.
You lived in a slave cabin at one time (all but me).
Tea is the medicine to pour over wounds to make them scab properly.
Ice cream was essential to a family gathering.
