## The story

Getting your first answering machine meant one thing: everyone in the house had to perform. Dad did a fake game show voice. The kids added a drumroll on a pot. The best greetings pretended someone answered, said hello, then paused awkwardly until you realized it was a recording.

## Fun fact

Grandmas left the longest messages, usually starting with is this thing on and ending with a full recipe.
