I dont remember the age, but it was before Kindergarten, thought men came into the house at night to load the next days shows into the TV.

I thought answering machines were something just made up by TV shows because we never had an answering machine.

I was so confused over how answering machines worked, but I don't remember the specifics anymore! I think what confused me was, how and especially where the messages would be stored. As in, can my neighbours call the number of my answering machine (if we had had one) and then listen to the messages that were left for us?
