Edmond Uses a Rotary Dial Phone
When I was young, but old enough to babysit my younger brother, I used to try to get him to behave by pretending to call Santa Claus and report his bad behavior. This always worked. The odd thing was that I would call Santa on the “magic” telephone…the curtain pulls. Payback is a bad thing, they always say. I found Edmond using a phone I picked up at the Thrift Store last week. I got it because when the power goes out at my house (which it does frequently in the winter) we don’t have any way to communicate with the world. So, I got the old rotary dial, no electricity necessary telephone. There was Edmond chattering happily away with “a nice man in a red suit”, telling him about some of the things that he has observed around here. I’m not liking this at all…
After that, he began to harass the other Christmas decorations and made fun of some of my Christmas purchases.
