The telephone in my parents room was very short so I never used that one because if you needed to get something you were stuck upstairs.

The kitchen phone was the really long telephone cord. The kind the got wrapped around over everything and when you hung up you had to let the phone spin so it wasn't twisted... kids today don't know the fun about spinning the telephone...

I know I am not that old but sometimes I feel old when my 9 year old cousin has a cell phone. Who does he need to call?
