Think I remember you posting this before when we had a discussion about modding old phones.

I'm convinced she saw it in a cartoon like Dora or Fireman Sam. But didn't hesitate to pick up the handset and put it to her ear.

EDIT:

Damnit I just had a flash of insight... thanks for the memory jolt.

As a baby she had a modern version of something like this [0] (hope the image loads for you). They still make them almost the same. It's a "walker/activity toy" with a rotary dial that made a sound and a phone handset.

Ahh interesting, I hadn't thought about cartoons, thanks. I probably did post this before, I find it interesting how one thing can be entirely obvious to one generation, but completely opaque to another.
