On my birthday (when I received my Tamagotchi) my friends came over. I got photos taken and when I looked back at my Tamagotchi I found it had reset itself. Since I was new to Tamagotchi (and did not read the instructions either), I said, "Oh no! My Tamagotchi is dead!" One of my friends saw and downloaded it, but covered the buttons and screen so I couldn't see what was going on.
I met one of my friends at school the other day. "Push this," they said, pointing to the B button, "and then select Download." I get it now.
