These youngins will never have to deal with the struggle of calling a girl through the house phone

[Manuel Hot Pepper Lopez]

Before the cell phone era when you got a number you didn't know who you had to go through to talk to her

SCENARIO 1
*phone rings*
Man: Hello?
Me: "Hell...hello. C-c-can I talk to T-T-Tiffany? My name..."
Man: "This is her dad. WTF is this?"
Me: "My name is Ewok....sir. I I I go to her sch-school"

Man: "And what are you calling here for, Ewok? Tell me a little bit about yourself"

Me:




SCENARIO 2
*phone rings*
Girlfriend's sister: Hello?

Me:"Hey, this is Ewok. Is Lovita home?"

Girlfriend's sister: "What, you don't know me?


Me: " I said 'Hey' when you picked up"

Girlfriend's sister: "But you didn't say 'Hey Bubbles, How you doing? How was your day?'"

Me: "Because I don't care Are you gonna get Lovita or what?"

Girlfriend's sister: "I don't know if I want to. Why you..."

*somebody else picks up the phone*

Girlfriend's little brother: "RAAAAAAAAAARRRRRGGH!!!!!"

I didn't get cool until after high school... Turned down this girl in middle school though.... That could have opened the door... I don't understand your struggle

Calling the house when someone else would pick up was WOAT status

Young cats just don't know.............

You getting yo convo on with a female, moms picks up the line talking bout "hurry up I'm waiting on a call!"

You gotta go through a DOD/CIA checklist if you call her and her parents answer

Try getting late night calls when errbody in the house sleep

I'm over here sporting the clear phone that lights up, so I can turn the ringer off so I can pick up when female call

Trying to organize dates early enough cause you know cats had be home at a certain time and most females couldn't be out that late

Even when you got yo own line there was still some shyt to deal with.........

Cell phones and pagers changed the dating game..........

I started schedulin' times after a while.

Later, girls started gettin' their own lines.

But yeah, gettin' through moms/pops was no joke.

landline era was better because you actually had to stay engaged with the conversation and not browse the internet while talking.
