      We had a rotary on the wall phone, and then when the push buttons came out my dad thought it would be cool to put a blue princess push bottom phone on the 1960’s blue toilet in the bathroom. 😄 We had a black rotary phone with a little twist button and two phone lines at my stepfathers house.

                  I really meant first cell phone. Of course we all had the Western Electric model 500. The phone company issued them to us our parents. We didn’t even own them back then.

                    A phone in your room?

                        Of course you did. And we knew that. But this is TNCR.
