This happened when I was 15 years old. My best friend Anthony wanted me to come over for the night since his parents would be gone all weekend.

I rode my bike over and put it in his backyard

before letting myself in through his back door.

We played basically every video game he had,

from FIFA all the way to call of duty,

with popcorn and other junk food spilled out all over the floor.

As the night progressed, we moved from video games to watching half a movie and getting bored

to doing prank calls at close to 10 o'clock.

Anthony made a few calls to different pizza places.

When it was my turn, I just dialed a few random numbers in hopes to get someone at their house. On say my fourth attempt,

I finally reached somebody. A guy with a deep and rough voice picked up, answering with

a yeah instead of a hello.

Anthony's laughing in the background made me stumble with my words mid-sentence,

ultimately cracking up into laughter.

I had never done a prank call, so I sucked at it.

The guy on the other end was silent.

I regained a straight face and tried to continue with the call.

It went something like this.

Uh, sir, would it be all right if I borrowed one of the wheels from your car?

What's your name, kid?

My name is Bob.

Really?
