      I cannot emphasize, the video was like 20 minutes long and literally half of it is just that same line over and over and over and over. And we had to watch it every year.

        Damn, you got it worse than me, sheesh.

        My dad just got a home copy and made us watch… maybe 3 times, over 2 years?

        Ironically, or perhaps not, within a week of watching it the first time, I found a new box in a hall closet, surprise! It’s a handgun.

        I was also home alone at this time, knew how to use a phone, but my parents did not list their work numbers anywhere… So I just left it alone.

        EDIT:

        For any younger readers:

        This is before smartphones, cellphones existed.

        We had a phone, in the kitchen, mounted to the wall, that wasn’t even cordless.
