Kind of ironic we mostly heard these words in the cartoons of the day..

True and don't forget all of the opera and classical music in those cartoons and in FLASH GORDON, movies, and yes on early T.V.!

And then there were books that kids read in school and just for fun...TARZAN, THE RAILWAY CHILDREN, KING SOLOMON'S MINES, SHE, THE WIZARD OF OZ series, THE SECRET GARDEN, and on and on.

There was a Betty Boop cartoon where Betty uses a pay phone to make a call, something kids might or might not recognize.

She made her call, hung up, and left the scene. A few seconds later she rushed back in and hurriedly fingered the coin return slot before leaving again.

That hilarious little vignette would be lost on modern audiences.
