StoryCorps, an oral history project that helps Americans record stories about their lives, is holding its third annual National Day of Listening on Friday, November 26. And in honor of the day, The Huffington Post is featuring StoryCorps pieces, including one in which MJ Seide talks with her 12-year-old granddaughter, Genna, about falling in love with her partner.

"When I fell in love with Mamamee, I knew that she was my soul mate," Seide explains. "Do you know what I mean by that?"

Listen to the incredible exchange here.
