The Told Book

A grandchild picks one question and sends its code. The elder answers in their own time, by voice on their own phone or by hand on paper. Over the months the answers become a book the family prints. This site never uploads anything and never asks for a microphone.

1. Ask a question

For the grandchild, with a grown-up nearby. Pick one card, then send its code by text, letter or phone call.

2. Answer a question

For the elder. Type the code you were sent.

3. The book

Answers kept on this device, in question order. Give the book a title, then print it.

There are no right answers and no wrong ones. Short is fine. "I don't know" is fine. Skipping a question is fine.
