You found the photo while rummaging through boxes of junk in the closet looking for food.

It wasn't a complete waste of your time.

You had found lots of old candy and smashed Girl Scout cookie boxes.

You even found a hidden bottle of wine wrapped up in some towels!

You drunk it sparingly since it was the only beverage you could find.

You were feeling a little buzzed....but you weren't drunk.

You were munching on stale samosas when you found the photos.

They were all in a keepsake box.

Most of the photos were pictures of Billie and Finneas as kids.

That's how you found out they were brother and sister.

You were exploring Billie's child hood.

Watching her get older and older.

She was an actress when she was younger!

She had stared in a movie!

She had lots of pictures from her days on set.

She was dressed like a Teletubbie.....but something wasn't quite right about her stomach.

It wasn't shaped like a normal tv.

It looked like a phone.

That's when you found your baby picture in the pile.

You knew exactly what you looked like as a baby and it was definitely you!

You were an infant in the photo - dressed in a full moon costume with only your face visible.

Billie - dressed as a green mascot- was holding you and smiling into the camera.

You flipped the photo over and sure enough your name was written on it!

"Phonetubbies 7-14-10" was also written on it.

You were born in November 2009.

You don't remember being in a movie as a baby!

Your parents never even mentioned it!

You sucked up some more wine as you tried to remember your own past and your connection to Billie.

Your Mom's a casting director.

Perhaps she was the one who wanted you to audition for the Phonetubbies show.

You didn't even know you had acted before.

You knew you were a clothes model!

Your parents kept all of your old magazine ads in their fire proof safe.

They never mentioned you being an actor baby....

You found an old copy of the movie script as you kept digging.

It was about the Teletubbies arch nemesis - the Phonetubbies.

The newest tubbies that come with built in smart phones in their stomachs instead of old outdated tvs.

You had been cast as the highly coveted baby moon!

The most iconic character in the whole movie!

The arch nemesis of the baby sun in Teletubbies! 

You were reading about the accidental invention of the Phonetubbies in an underground lab facility when you heard Finneas cussing from outside the closet door.

You prayed he wouldn't open it.

He hadn't so far and you had been stuck in the closet for 2 days.

You never had the chance to escape.

Finneas and Claudia were always right there.....

They never came into the closet though.

They must have been more concerned with the war going on than changing their clothes.

Billie didn't make it back from the insane asylum.

You overheard Finneas on the phone with his mother arguing about a fraudulent Uber charge.

He asked to talk to Billie.

You couldn't hear Billie but you knew she was ok by the way Finneas was talking to her.

You tried to follow along with their conversation but it was pretty difficult since it was one sided.

One minute Finneas was talking about vomit and the next he was talking about dead pepper.

You heard of dead salt but never dead pepper!

You would have googled it but unfortunately the closet didn't have any outlets.

You found an iPhone charger but since there were no outlets you couldn't charge your dead phone.

You would have died of boredom had there not been so much junk for you to explore.

You found an old dictionary and tried to look up dead pepper the old fashion way but it wasn't even in the book.

You tossed it aside a little too carelessly in your Inebriated state.

It knocked into a pile of boxes - clattering them loudly as miscellaneous junk poured out onto the closet floor!

In a panic you immediately dove under a pile of coats to hide.

No one came into the closet to investigate the noise though.

You don't know how no one heard the commotion.

You actually fell asleep under the pile waiting for someone to come in.

You woke up a little confused but remembered where you were as you crawled out of the pile.

It was night time now.

There was a window in the closet but it was much too small for you to crawl through.

It didn't have much of a view either.

Just some tree tops.

You had to stand on boxes to reach it and you only used it to piss out of.

There was a full moon tonight.

You were sucking in some fresh air when a shiny glint of glass in the corner of the closet caught your attention.

It was reflecting in the moon light.

It was a picture frame that had fallen out of the junk boxes earlier.

The glass was cracked but it hadn't shattered.

It was a photo of Billie as a teenager.

She was in a McDonald's uniform holding an employee of the month sign.

She wasn't smiling.

Her eyes looked shiny with tears and you could tell by the disappointment on her face that she wasn't too happy to be working there......
