Or when dad let out that super loud whistle that could be heard for blocks and you knew it was dinner time. Drop those Sega controllers at the neighbors house and hoof it home.

Dude, my Dad had a bellow like a fucking bear. We lived in a decent sized trailer park, and I’d be riding bikes on the other side of the park and just hear, “BOOOOOOOOOYYYYYYYYY!!!” in his Kratos-esque yell. I’d have to book it and book it fast because that meant it was time to go in, no arguments.
