Sometime between the first bite of turkey and the last slice of pie, it’ll happen: a lull in the dinner conversation. What will you do next?
If you’re breaking bread with acquaintances, you might turn small talk into smart conversation. But if you’re with family and friends and want to deepen the ties that bind, then try asking one of the following questions around the table, as recommended by Story Corps founder and 2015 TED Prize winner Dave Isay.
- What are you grateful for?
- What’s been the happiest moment of your life so far?
- What are the most important lessons you’ve learned in life?
- Who has been kindest to you?
- If your great-great-grandchildren could listen to this years from now: is there any wisdom you’d want to pass on to them? What would you want them to know?
- If you could honor one person in your life – living or dead – by listening to their story, who would that be, what would you ask them and why?
