This is a true story.
In the 80's my son was down at a friends house and called to say that he had been invited to stay for dinner and was it okay. Of course we said yes... anything to get him out of the house for a while.
So he came home a couple of hours later and proceeded to tell us about the "cool phone" in Jeremy's house. He said, it hung on the wall just like ours but instead of buttons it had this big circle thing that you put your finger in and moved.

My wife did not have the heart to tell him that we had one before he was born and we got rid of it in the name of progress!
I of course, did have the heart and told him immediately.
Progress I guess is in the eye of the beholder.
BTW, the avocado green color? Pure 1970's.
