My 20 year old granddaughter is doing her mom's astrological chart and wants to know if she (mom) was born at 3 am or 3 pm (it's unclear on her mom's birth certificate). So I get an email from daughter about this. I explain:
"Probably 3 pm. I remember our phone was out in our apt. and I went across the street to a phone booth to call the doctor's office at noontime. My water had broken earlier. Doc's office said go to hospital immediately."
So it occurred to me my granddaughter had no idea what a "phone booth" was. I instructed my daughter to please explain that to her...
