Keys to locked memories
Now I know why I like Yle’s radio news so much. It hit me while I was getting coffee today from the paper shop downstairs of the Media Lab. I remember the call tone from when I would play in my Finnish grandparents kitchen. They used to have a Yle station playing all the time in the kitchen. Wow.
Does everyone have memories of being safe and happy at their grandparents house? I wonder... Maybe grandparents, since they usually die while their granchildren are growing up, are a permanent key to childhood memories.
