It was not cordless until a couple of years later when I paid for my own cordless phone.

But it had a big cord, so you could walk around the entire room with it.

And then he said, I have installed your own phone lines in your own room.

Now, we already had the outlet, but he said, here's your phone number, here's your phone number.

That's very cool of him.

Great.

Until a couple of years later, when one night I am watching one of those channels, I see Miss Cleo and I call her up.

Right.

And of course, it's not Miss Cleo that's talking to me.

It's somebody on the other line.

But they were so good at talking to me.

They got me and they got me on like a hour and a half long phone call, a long phone call.

And I just didn't understand at the time.

I mean, I probably did somewhere, but I wasn't thinking all the way through as teenagers don't do.

And when my dad got that phone bill a month later, trouble, he fucking flipped his shit.

And all charging privileges on the phone were taken off.

I couldn't call collect.

I couldn't call 411, which I think you at some point became a charge service like 50 cents to call 411, which was the early search engine for telephone numbers and other information.

It was literally called information.

That's what you would call.
