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. Families tend to circle the same five anecdotes; this question pries loose the story that was about to be retired forever. The yes-or-no format is what makes it work — nobody has to volunteer a story, but once someone says yes the room always wants to hear it. That is why this question comes up again even in groups that have played before: the answer changes, the story changes, and the same question lands differently every time someone new is in the room.
