I feel like I saw this once a long time ago. Here it is again.
Age: 32
Where you grew up (Ages 0-18): Cleveland, with an influential year in Lincolnshire when I was 11
1. A body of water, smaller than a river, contained within relatively narrow banks: stream
2. What the thing you push around the grocery store is called: cart - I don't usually qualify it, I don't think, but I suppose either "shopping cart" or "grocery cart" is okay.
3. A metal container to carry a meal in: lunch box
4. The thing that you cook bacon and eggs in: frying pan
5. The piece of furniture that seats three people: couch or sofa
6. The device on the outside of the house that carries rain off the roof: gutter
7. The covered area outside a house where people sit in the evening: porch (it's only a deck if it's not covered)
8. Carbonated, sweetened, non-alcoholic beverages: soda
9. A flat, round breakfast food served with syrup: pancake
10. A long sandwich designed to be a whole meal in itself: sub
11. The piece of clothing worn by men at the beach: bathing suit or trunks
12. Shoes worn for sports: sneakers
13. Putting a room in order: cleaning or straightening
14. A flying insect that glows in the dark: firefly
15. The little insect that curls up into a ball: potato bug
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: teeter-totter
17. How do you eat your pizza: point first (another answer: ... with my hands. [g])
18. What's it called when private citizens put up signs and sell their used stuff: garage sale or yard sale
19. What's the evening meal?: dinner
20. The thing under a house where the furnace and perhaps a rec room are: basement; also cellar.
21. What do you call the thing from which you can drink water in public places: water fountain
22. What do you call the thing when you discard refuse in a round receptacle? trash can or garbage can, but the UK is sufficiently in my head that I also find myself frequently using bin
