This time of year, children are front and center. They’re finishing up preschool, high school or college, arriving home with diplomas, well-loved art projects or cherished personal essays. We’re awash in souvenirs of the school year and we’re absolutely sure we’ll never forget the way they talk, look and think. After all, we have all this STUFF.
But we will.
Why not set up a free, one day VoiceQuilt and create a quick verbal time capsule? To explain all that stuff!
That way, you’ll always have that sweet voice…or that enthusiastic voice…talking about highlights of the year. And when you’re done, just download it to your iPod and save it for those days when your progeny crabs at you – or rolls their eyes because you’ve done something embarrassing.
Just dial up VoiceQuilt’s toll free number with the phone on speaker and ask 3 questions – just like the local news reporter:
1.) What was your favorite thing about _____________th grade?
2.) Which of these items (pull out that class stuff) means the most to you and why?
3.) What do you want to be when you grow up?
(I am always amazed at my daughter’s answers to question 3. After years of answers like “a cheerleader” and “a hairdresser”, we’re on to esoteric answers like “an entomologist” or "an architect”…and it’s always changing….)
Just try it. You’ll like it.
