I have something in common with the mature folks.

I had a party line as a child. It was us and the old maid down the road. I remember picking up and listening a few times, just for fun.

It's hilarious because I went to a museum that had a recording that simulated a party line. I didn't know I was old enough to be in a museum!

My parents also owned a dial telephone, I had a dial tv... Did I grow up in an alternate universe?
