I wonder what Granny would think of things like paying for things with your phone?

Such great memories! The campground that we go to every year has a phone booth and my niece is fascinated with it every time we go (she is 11).Shannon Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17460802367232786563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-175615422289413201.post-82361265968637623902019-02-05T17:00:45.165-07:002019-02-05T17:00:45.165-07:00My grandson learned about rotary phones in the Sci...My grandson learned about rotary phones in the Science MUSEUM of all places!

Although I don't think I'm old, I was shocked when I learned that teens today don't know how to use rotary phones! Guess what my young nephews get to learn when they come over to visit!
