Hasn’t she seen how it’s done?

She should be blonde!

Ahead of her time, she thinks it’s hands free!

See? There was something before “Can you hear me now?”

This is funny for today’s kids. How would they know what to do with a land line?

Reminds me of the time she was playing hide-and-seek, and missed the first step there, too. (“I’ve never been so embarrassed in all my life.”)

Meanwhile, kids today would say – “what is that black thing on the table and why is it making that noise?”

ah the days before the dreaded robo-calls

My sister got so many phone calls, my nephew’s first word was hello. He said it every time a phone rang and kept saying it until someone answered it. My nephew is now in his early 40s.

Imagine a telephone that someone would have to actually Dial your number manually to infringe on your privacy?…Where can we get such a Marvel … Charlie Brown?

Maybe Mr. Wizard knows….Lets tune in Saturday morning and see if he knows……

So was Schulz trying to predict things to come?

And there was no voice mail or even answering machines so if a person was patient (or stubborn) your phone could ring for several minutes.

“Okay, Google. Send call to voice mail.”
