We've done this before, but...
Age: ancient
Where you grew up (Ages 0-18): St. Louis area
1. A body of water, smaller than a river, contained within relatively narrow banks: Creek or stream.
2. What the thing you push around the grocery store is called: Shopping cart.
3. A metal container to carry a meal in: Lunch box or lunch pail depending on the shape.
4. The thing that you cook bacon and eggs in: Frying pan.
5. The piece of furniture that seats three people: Couch or sofa. Chesterfield if you happen to be my Canadian aunt.
6. The device on the outside of the house that carries rain off the roof: Gutters.
7. The covered area outside a house where people sit in the evening: Porch, veranda if you want it to sound sexier. I think sitting outside in the evening died with home air-conditioning, though.
8. Carbonated, sweetened, non-alcoholic beverages: Soda. The hill billies where I lived called it "sodie"
9. A flat, round breakfast food served with syrup: Pancakes. Flapjacks if you want to be more colorful.
10. A long sandwich designed to be a whole meal in itself: submarine or sub.
11. The piece of clothing worn by men at the beach: Swimming trunks.
12. Shoes worn for sports: Tennis shoes, unless you're in the pay of a shoe manufacturer.
13. Putting a room in order: Straightening, cleaning.
14. A flying insect that glows in the dark: Firefly, lightning bug.
15. The little insect that curls up into a ball. Tumblebug.
16. The children's playground equipment where one kid sits on one side and goes up while the other sits on the other side and goes down: More often teeter-totter than seesaw.
17. How do you eat your pizza: Point first.
18. What's it called when private citizens put up signs and sell their used stuff: Garage or yard sale.
19. What's the evening meal?: Dinner. My country cousins all called it supper.
20. The thing under a house where the furnace and perhaps a rec room are: Basement.
21. What do you call the thing that you can get water out of to drink in public places: Water fountain or drinking fountain.
