About 10 years ago, some of us were talking to a girl in her late teens and mentioned rotary phones - she said,’I’ve seen one of those!’
I think it was around then too when my middle daughter came home all worked up because of the difficulty she had getting home from a friends house.
Long story short, the only phone available for her to use to call me was her friends grandmothers phone out in the stables and neither she nor her friend could figure out how to use a rotary so they couldnt call out.
She spent a lot of time there so I explained it to her and she still didnt get it. I wound up making a fake dial so she could see what I meant.
