I love it! This happened to me at Bear Creek Scout Camp, my first year
with the troop. I took poor homesick James, 11 years old, to the rotary
phone, sat him in front of it and told him to call 1-800-collect, as he
had never made a collect phone call, and stepped away to give him some
privacy. Silence, so I looked back. He was trying to put all 10
fingers on the right numbers inside the dial at the same time. He had
pressed them all individually, but that didn't work, so he was trying to
press all of them at the same time!
