Why people ask this
This question works because the yes-or-no split always surprises the room — someone answers in a way nobody expected, and the conversation starts from there. This question keeps coming up because the answer almost always cracks the room open — childhood memories sit in a part of the brain that people forget is loaded with material until somebody asks. Have You Ever questions work because they give everyone the same binary entry point — yes or no — and then let the room decide how far to go. A quick nod counts. A ten-minute story also counts. The format never forces anyone to say more than they want to, which is exactly why people do.
