We found a calculator in Staples with the numbers in a circle like on an old rotary telephone.

Dad: "Old phones used to have this dial, like a wheel, and you would stick your finger in the hole with the number you wanted then dial it around. That’s why we call it dialing a telephone number.

Noah: "So like was there an arrow or something so that once the number appeared on the screen you could make the call?"

Actually I have much to post but when the pressure is on and the heat is up I just do not have time to speak; however, I do have time to babble.
