"And in my trunk I put ..."

NANCY J. JAGEL

When we were children, we used to entertain ourselves on long trips by playing games. One of our favorites was a memory word game in which the first player says, "I went on a trip to my grandmother's house, and in my trunk I put ..." and then names something starting with the letter A.

The next player repeats the same phrase and adds something beginning with the letter B. As the list grows longer, it becomes a challenge to remember the entire trunkful, all from A to Z.
