I'm imaging you either just turning it on and then off again, checking the SCART or RCA cables, or strolling up to the TV in a leather jacket and whacking it deftly from the side whilst saying Aaaaaaayyyy!

    I eventually figured out not only is it an image thing, but having the family waiting on her in the car to go somewhere is a power thing for her. So she gets BIG MAD if you leave the car and play video games or something to pretend you don't care about being on time either. I'm also always late to pick her up for anything when she knows I'm punctual for literally anyone else...

    Hahaha, imagine how terrible this zag game would have to be to make you dread the school closing as much. Most educational games I played were at least kind of fun. I imagine this dad to be a total psychopath, in a good way? Hahaha

    I don't think our school was ever canceled, but I got to stay home when I was sick. I never liked telling my parents I was sick because it was met with skepticism, but in the end there was a whole lot of Aladin VHS involved, which in my view was a step up from school.
