Collect Call

Years ago whenever we traveled we did not have cell phones. When we wanted family to know we were safe at our destination we made a collect call. I saw a television commercial this week making a parody out of that scenario. It brought back funny memories. In the commercial, a man places a call to a family member and when the operator says,  "Who can I say is calling", the man responds, "Wehadababyboy Heseightpounds". I remember making up names like that when I called my parents. Those were the good old days.
