15. What’s your favorite childhood memory?

Joseph: When I was little, we lived in a very tight neighborhood (everyone was friends) and we had trick or treating parties every year. We'd trade the candy we didn't like, wait an hour and then go hit all the houses again. That was awesome.

16. Is there anything else you would like to add?

Joseph: Not especially. Let’s end with “Good Night America, and all the ships at sea!” (From The Brave Little Toaster).
