Lately, I have been nostalgic for a phone like these in my kitchen. Mounted on the wall with a long dangly cord that gets twisted up. The kind where you get to/have to be surprised by who is on the other end. Remember when prank phone calls were hours of fun? I don't even have a landline anymore, but Dr. Oz says I should; to avoid brain tumors in my children, they are not supposed to use a cell phone. So
they either don't call Grandma and Papa or I hit ebay and call Ma Bell. My Grandparents used to have a black one, it was really heavy and loud, I wonder if they still do...
i hated rotary phones. but i do have fond memories of my mom on one for hours at a time to a friend, drinking coffee and smoking cigarettes.
