Whatever that number is, I'm pretty sure it will remain the same for the rest of my life.
Does calling Santa count? I never thought I’d use one again either, but there are a fair few still around Melbourne, and at Xmas kids can call Santa for free and tell him what they want. You never know where life will take you next!

Interesting. I wasn't sure if cell phones have been widely utilized in Argentina up until the last few years, so figured you've used a pay phone quite often.

I'm certain I used a payphone a number of times when I was a kid but the only time I can specifically remember was when I called my mom collect from the ski mountain to ask her to pick me up and she was pissed because the plan was to pick me up in like an hour anyway. I made her pay for a phone call instead of just being patient for an hour. What a little a-hole I was! Kids suck!

you didnt do that "mom come pick me up" as your name trick (aka wehadababyeetsaboy) so she could decline the call but got the message?

Ugh now that kids have text messaging ability, they probably message to be picked up early from stuff all the time when they’re the slightest bit over it.
I remember being unable to sleep at a sleepover once, and I just stuck it out for hours scared shitless in the dark. Never occurred to me to bother my parents to come get me, I was IN IT.

Would your parents have just told you to suck it up though?

Nah, but that’s what I mean. I got through it and it helped shape me into the glorious man you see before you today. Plus my parents probably got to bang and get a good night’s slumber.

I used payphones and I wish I still did. I only got a phone because I was pressured into it by a loser person.
