\"ma-and-pa-teeny\"Hey young-uns:<\/h4>\n

When I was growin’ up, we didn’t know anything about a “cell phone”.\u00a0 In fact we barely had a house phone.\u00a0 Back then you had to apply for a phone through the phone company then go down to the phone company and pick up your phone – a big giant rotate dial phone.\u00a0 IT had a long coily cord that attached the hand set to the actual phone.\u00a0 Then the phone had a long cord that attached to the wall outlet.\u00a0 No such thing as walking and talking, if you had to get somebody on the phone after you left the house you had to search for a “pay phone booth” and hope the person you wanted to reach was at home next to the house phone.<\/h4>\n
