A relic from the past?

The big discovery that made the girls eyes pop during our Black Forest winter vacation last weekend was... tadaaaa!

Surprise! The common telephone. Well, the common dial telephone of the not so long past :D

I didnt know it was a strange thing for them. Really! But it is.
the dial telephone is strange :D

MC excitedly entered our hotel room and fixed her eyes on the phone with IC hurrying to get a better look as they both screamed to me, 'Mama, mama, what's this? We havent seen anything like this!' I guess, that's true. They know the push button phones, the portable ones and the cellullar phones, but a dial telephone. It is indeed rare!

Imagine their disappointment when they learned that this 'relic' is only a common telephone. But when I showed them how to dial, they were back to being amazed. They wanted to try it, and again, and again.

Please dont ask me how many times I had to tell them to stop playing with the telephone during our holiday.
