I would if it happened a lot, but genereally people don't contact me that way at night. Messenger doesn't use any sound.

I have my phone on silent at all times of the day. It doesn't ring or vibrate at all, ever. Except that I do have an emergency ring set up for if my wife calls. If she's calling me, it's probably an emergency.

Same, except my "ring list" includes daycare and an elementary school.

Same. I also have an emergency exception for epilogues wife, though I don't think she has my number.

Pretty sure the three of us swapped numbers, among other things, on that magic night.

If you had to do the Billy Madison test and were given 2 weeks to pass each grade of school, without any preemptive studying leading up to the challenge, how far do you think you could go before you had to repeat a grade?

Yeah, High School math and science would be tough. There's just a lot of information to remember.

Math was by far my strongest aptitude. I’d get f’d by chemistry or biology probably. Or when I started having to do book reports and essays.
