And silently freaking out when you realized you made her miss a turn.

And then repeating the process three minutes later when that song ended.

It always killed the vibe.

And then having trust issues over whether or not she was listening to your call.

And dealing with the ultimatum that inevitably followed — did you leave behind the person who was 10 minutes late to fend for themselves? (Or worse, you were that person who got left behind and couldn't find your friends for hours.)

And the panic of not making it in time that came with it.

And getting annoyed with yourself or a sibling when you popped in a video and the credits came up first.

And then promptly losing or breaking them at the bottom of your backpack.

And then missing it and having to wait for everything to circle back because you looked away for literally a second.

And trying to fit it into your pocket while you were walking.

And then finding out that every picture was overexposed, blurry, and off center.

Because no play date was complete without Mario Kart 64.

Or worse, your parents' wedding.

You hoped and prayed nothing huge happened in between the lights.

And if you so much as tried to stretch the cord all the way up there, your mom would scream at you.

And dying inside a little bit every time you passed the letter you wanted and had to hit the key four more times to get it back.
