#3) What is missing? Well, I don't see a line from the phone to the wall. Of course, the phone book is also missing; back then the phone book was usually beneath the phone.
In addition to the above missing items - an big ash tray next to the phone and often that ash tray upside down on the floor with my mom yelling at my dad about it.
The notebook that you wrote the phone numbers of friends, the doctor, school etc in. We had one that was plastic and under the phone, if you pressed a button the drawer would open.

DeleteHow about a pen and scratch paper to take a message?
ReplyDeleteAnon, you're very close.
DeleteWhere's the ashtray?
ReplyDeleteAmazingAZ, you're about one third there.
DeleteAll of the above, and an ashtray.
ReplyDeleteAnon, how about that.
DeleteHoward was never believable.
ReplyDeleteedutcher, but this prediction.

Anon, old is a trick nature plays on us.
DeleteIn our house, while I was growing up, there were no ashtrays anywhere.
ReplyDeleteThe phone book is definitely missing.
John, We had ashtrays, phone books, and telephone cords.
