I’ve noticed something lately. My kids don’t like to answer my phone if they don’t know who it is. I made Meg answer my phone today and she panicked because it was just an unknown number on the screen with no name.
Uh. It wasn’t all that long ago that every call was a surprise and you just said, Hello. Am I showing my age? I think I remember caller ID hitting it big when I was in high school and *69 was pretty new too.
I said “The 411″ the other day and Meg didn’t know what that meant either. Time is traveling fast. Thank goodness I wear my seatbelt.
We are starting to teach Charlie how to answer the house phone and phone manners. We don’t have caller id on the home phone. The funny thing is he holds the phone inches away from his face/ear and with his little munchkin voice people can’t hear him!
Since we don’t have a house phone anymore and the one we did have had caller ID, I don’t think my kids will remember anything but a phone with a picture poping up!
