We were all at my Mother’s house for a big family supper this evening when a few of the boys got curious about their Nan’s old rotary telephone. They had a hard time understanding how it worked. I had to show them a number of times before they finally figured out how to dial someone’s phone number. When I was satisfied that I had showed them how to use the phone I had one more question to answer. “So you can’t ‘end’ with that phone?” I then had to explain that the handset presses a button on the main part of the phone when you hang it up.
Wow, have times really changed that much???
