Yesterday on the Joe Pag’s weekend show, he brought this up. Today, every 14-year-old girl has a phone. But in the 70s? (I’m old enough to remember). If she gave him a phone number, it was her mom’s home phone number, not hers. If she had a phone in her room, and her mom says she didn’t, he’d still be calling her mom’s phone.
Again, for those who weren’t around, phones lines used to be expensive. Only very wealthy people back then would spring for a separate line for their kids. My high school friend was a doctor’s son, Rolls Royce & Bentley owner, and he and his sister didn’t have private lines.
Yep. I grew up in the 70s. Only ONE phone in our house.
