    My older brother tried to explain that to me when I knew addition but not multiplication. He asked what 2 x 3 would be. I said 5. He said, "No, it's 6." I didn't believe him, but he insisted, and that upset me. My mother had to sit down with me and help me understand. After the ah-ha moment, I loved math. After that, she called me her "little mathematician".

    So they still sell these.
    Does no one ever tell kids that they are telephones?
    I’ve seen so many videos of kids trying to figure out how to use old rotary phones.
