You can call me old fashioned,or you might just point out that I grew up in a small town in which nothing ever,ever happened.But when the phone rang in our house,it was a time of great excitement.Like mad bloodhounds,we kids would drop what we were doing and sprint for where the phone was(which,of course,was always in the same place).Often there’d be a bloody collision.Things would go flying,like the odd vase or pet,in the scramble to see who could answer it.
