Inspired by a true story…

When I was a kid I had an old walkie-talkie that was mostly a prop for making believe I was John McClane. Occasionally I would pick up transmissions while roaming the neighborhood as cordless phones in the 90s were about as private as the intercom at Walmart. One day I heard a baby crying over the air and, assuming I was listening to a baby monitor, I tried to convince the parents that their precious little one had developed speech. I don’t think I was able to successfully transmit to the receiver… either that or the lazy bastards weren’t listening (or didn’t care)! And if you’re with the FCC, well, uh… everything written above was a total fabrication!
