i want to tell a story from the 90s about a time when i laughed SUPER hard
this was either 96 or 97 at the time, my sister used to run track, and one of her friends who ran liked hanging out with us for some reason so one time she asked if she and her brother could stay with us for a week (this was during summer) and my parents said yes so they came out and one thing we all kinda realized was that they must've liked hanging out with us because we were like more normal than them.. like they seemed like they had no freedom and we all felt like their dad was stingy so at the time i had a sega saturn.. it was appropriate at the time.. but i soon learned that the girl's brother (i don't remember his name) only had a regular nintendo i couldn't really understand how he only had a regular nintendo or why his dad was so stingy with them.. cuz at the time, the regular nintendo was two generations behind.. i mean if he said he had a sega genesis, i would've been like "ok that's old but at least you have that" .. no.. this kid had a regular nintendo and that thing originally came out in 1985 so i was just thinking.. why is this kid in the stoneage? so then one day during that week we went to the video rental store and they had regular nintendo games you could buy.. like they were so old u couldn't even rent them, you could only buy them.. because they were getting rid of their old nintendo rentals so he bought this action game of some sort and we went back to the car and he opened it in the car and when he opened the box it was a really stupid game like wheel of fortune or something he was mad and i was CRACKING UP LAUGHING my mom told him to go back in and get another one and they told him the sale was final so he came out and he was crying and when he explained he couldn't get a refund or another game i freaking LOST IT i already thought the whole thing was funny but then i just went straight up INSANE WITH LAUGHTER the kid told me to shutup but i just kept laughing, my stomach was hurting and everything.. i laughed so hard it was ridiculous so to wrap it up, basically my mom went in and told them they better give him another game or give him his money back or she was going to basically ruin their whole day.. and after a while they finally gave him his money back and all i know is i laughed at that ish all the way home and for weeks afterwards it was just funny on so many different levels.. i mean you get screwed on your purchase as if buying a game from the 80s wasn't punishment enough when you're that young, video games are like your social status and i just couldn't believe how low this kid was on the totem pole LOL
