In the late 1980s, when telemarketing was at it is peak, a company called our home during dinner. I picked up the phone and handed it to my dad. This is what we heard him say:
âIâm not interested.â
âNo. No, thank you.â
âWell ⦠Iâm not ever going to die.â
And then he hung up. My mom and I looked at each other, and then him, with looks of incredulity. He explained that it was a company selling life insurance.
For a long time, I believed just that â that he was not going to die. That he would be here dropping knowledge on me, my family and the rest of the world forever.
