If you actually know someone and you really want to tease that out you don't ask them, first you invoke nostalgia organically, then when you're both tripping down memory lane you offer up your own favourite thing from recess in primary school (starting fires with a magnifying glass, say) and wait.

More often than not they'll gift back a similar story of their own.

That was not the question - these are meant for someone you don’t know.

The question asked that I replied to was:

> Tell me how to say that when knowing someone

The answer I gave works much the same in either case.

I'm sorry, english is not my primary language. I meant <getting to know someone>, what the original post context was about.
