So remember in the Family Circus cartoons where they had the little dotted line going all through and around the house to show where the little boy had been? Between 1993 and 1998, my house ACTUALLY looked like that, except instead of an imaginary line, it was a real phone cord. We had like a 100 foot cord for a 700 sq ft house. It could reach anywhere.
My oldest was just complaining the other night that there is no privacy in our house (he was in his room on the phone.) DH and I were laughing at what privacy meant when we were 13. Pulling the phone chord around the corner, until it was close to straight, just to try and get 2 minutes w/o anyone around. He was just appalled!!!!
