My parents actually had a rotary phone until about 10 years ago. AND they were renting it!!! Can you believe it? They finally had to get with the times when the bright yellow rotary phone (in their pink kitchen) kicked the bucket. I just bought my Mom a cordless one 5 years ago. That confused her big time. And I had to buy her an answering machine too. Double confusion!

I bought an old black rotary phone at a yard sale years ago just for decoration. It's in my Mom's attic right now. But it's wicked heavy.



I also remember when phone numbers were 5 digits long.
