Video tape was stuck in the VCR.
“What should we do?” asked my brother.
We were both under ten years old, unsure of what choices we had.
“We should..we should keep watching the video until it pops out!”
So then we spent a full night, watching the movie Cool Runnings over and over again. By the time dawn arrived, we had many lines memorized.

Our aunt woke up and asked us why we weren’t asleep.
“Dunno,” we replied.
Then suddenly, magically, the video tape popped out of the VCR in the morning.
