family as bearing witness
Monday, January 7th, 2013
Me: Dad told us about how when he was seventeen he built a radio controlled boat from a kit and sailed it in the pond at Kew Gardens.
Big: I remember that boat.
Me: You do?
Big: It was in the lawnlocker.
Me: Oh my God. I think I remember it too. About yea big?
Big: Yeah.
Me: I can see the curve of it. And smell what the lawnlocker smelled like. I would never have remembered that on my own, not in a million years.
