I remember talking on the phone for hours

I remember "home phones" and asking if someone was available

I remember corded phones that could only reach so far into my bedroom

I remember being able to pick up the other phone and listen while someone was on the line

I remember dial-up internet that blocked the phone line, and listening to the sound it made while it dialed up

I remember pretending to be asleep

I remember hiding when it was time to be picked up from a friend's

I remember thinking four hours was the longest ever time for a play date

Now I think...why on earth do we call them "play dates." For God's sake.

I remember that for Halloween I always wanted to be King Arthur, not Guinevere
I remember making fairy houses at the ridgewood house out of moss and acorn caps and pieces of slate
