I called 1-900-4-KIDS without permission.

For those of you not in the know, that was the New Kids on the Block 900 number.

I knew that it was $1.99 a minute, but I figured that if I didn't stay on the phone for more than a minute, my parents wouldn't know and it wouldn't appear on the bill.

WRONG.

Dad got the phone bill, and it was almost 8 pages long.

Luckily I didn't get into too much trouble, but that was only because I offered to do more chores around the house for my restitution.
