Where you grew up: in a suburban home in the Puget Sound area of Washington State, USA
1. A body of water, smaller than a river, contained within relatively narrow banks: a creek or a stream
2. What the thing you push around the grocery store is called: shopping cart or just a cart
3. A metal container to carry a meal in: lunchbox
4. The thing that you cook bacon and eggs in: frying pan or a skillet
5. The piece of furniture that seats three people: couch or a sofa
6. The device on the outside of the house that carries rain off the roof: gutters
7. The covered area outside a house where people sit in the evening: is it at the front? a porch
8. Carbonated, sweetened, non-alcoholic beverages: We out here in the western US call this pop, maybe a soft drink. Those in the eastern US tend to call them soda. To westerners, soda is like the old fashioned ice cream sodas. Silly easterners. :P
9. A flat, round breakfast food served with syrup: a pancake
10. A long sandwich designed to be a whole meal in itself: a hoagie or a submarine sandwich maybe?
11. The piece of clothing worn by men at the beach: swim trunks?
12. Shoes worn for sports: sneakers, training or running shoes
13. Putting a room in order: cleaning up
14. A flying insect that glows in the dark: a firefly or lightning bug. I've seen these myself in the eastern US. ;)
15. The little insect that curls up into a ball: a Sow Bug or a Potato Bug. I loved playing with these as a kid.
16. The children's playground equipment where one kid sits on one side and goes up while the other sits on the other side and goes down: seesaw or a teeter totter
17. How do you eat your pizza: by hand or with a fork if it's messy
18. What's it called when private citizens put up signs and sell their used stuff? garage sale or a yard sale
19. What's the evening meal? supper (casual) or dinner if you're being more formal
20. The thing under a house where the furnace and perhaps a rec room are: a crawlspace or if there's actual rooms down there, a basement
21. What do you call the thing that you can get water out of to drink in public places? a drinking or water fountain
