  the woman of the house.
• 0:47
  When I was a kid.
• 0:48
  Like at the front door?
• 0:49
  No, like on the phone.
• 0:50
  I used to have a really high,
• 0:52
  I was like a very feminine voice as a child.
• 0:54
  People always thought I was a girl.
• 0:56
  And so they would call and they'd be like, oh, is Dennis home?
• 1:01
  And I'd be like, no, he's not.
• 1:02
  And they're like, oh, is this the missus?
• 1:04
  And I'm like, hey, ask why you're calling to try and get more information.
• 1:10
  How far did you ever get with these phone calls?
• 1:12
  I just had like normal conversations.
• 1:14
  I was always very mature.
• 1:15
  So like I felt like I was holding my own.
• 1:17
  I wasn't giving anything away.
• 1:19
