In California, when I was 11, our phone number was Edgewood (ED) 35314. When I was a toddler, it was Sycamore (SY) 95171.

I don’t remember our phone number from Massachusetts, but my mother drummed “19 Hancock Street, Worcester, Massachusetts”
into my tiny head. She told me that if I got lost, I should tell a policeman my address.

Worcester is pronounced Wuh-stah in Massachusetts.

See Post 186. Nobody had to drum the number in my head! I was actually 4 when I kept calling them. I remember getting caught too. I was crying and begging Grandma to get Grandpa off work and COME GET ME! My other Grandma caught me and took the phone: "It won't happen again Mrs D****." By that time I was running! For some reason she thought my long hair was a handle.
