It’s 9:00 on a Tuesday night. I have a crockpot in the entryway cooking up some chicken that has about half an hour to go before it hits a non-death-inducing temperature. I am spending that hour watching Seinfeld and pondering the old cordless phones of yesteryear. Remember those?
I did some work at Sam and Rachel’s, but no photos were taken. (Mostly because I don’t want and evidence of my screw ups.)
Happy Weenesday!

I was watching Edward Scissorhands the other day, and the people in that movie use rotary phones. I had some fun nostalgic feelings about that.
Do any of your kids know their parents’ phone numbers? Is that a thing for little kids to learn any more?
Lauren says
I gave up on it. Nowadays they could have three 10-digit numbers to memorize: home phone, mom’s cell and dad’s cell. That’s too much information to memorize.
Deborah says
I had a phone just like that until a few years ago.
Rachel says
I cannot recite either of my parent’s cell numbers now, but I can remember two other numbers from my childhood rapidly: The home number we had in Minnesota when I was little (rotary phone -- party line even) and the Mutual of Omaha’s number -- given to me by TV commercials every Sunday night during Wild Kingdom. (That happened in Minnesota, too. Hmmmm.)
Peggy says
HA!! I was recently watching an episode of Seinfeld too & laughed out loud at the phone he was using. His looked more like this:

HAHA!!
And if you’re giving out prizes for remembering your own home phone number from when you were I kid….I remember mine too! 823-8273 (no area codes used in MD then) And I had a party line as well. And there were phone booths on every corner.
