1 What’s Your Earliest Memory?
He might not even realize what his first memory is until you ask him to think about it.

Most parents have two names picked out, just in case. After he tells you what his girl name would've been, tell him what your boy name would've been.

If he grew up with siblings, then this is an interesting question. Did he have to share a room with his annoying little brothers, or did he have a place to himself?
