From the anonymous bin:

When I was in Kindergarten, I attended a friend's birthday party. While I was there, I took a mental note of his house number (address). The next morning, I woke up before everyone else in the house and decided to call my friend on the telephone. With great expertise (having watched my parents use the telephone in the past), I dialed his two digit house number. I was confused and disappointed when I was unable to reach him. I couldn't figure out what was wrong with the phone.

Steve gets confused about televisions.

I used to think that the television was just a big telephone with a screen. So when I watched my favorite shows like Mr. Dressup and Bill Nye I would yell into the speakers to try and talk to them. I never understood why they didn't answer me until my mom walked in at me with my mouth pretty much on the speaker and got a little confused. She then proceeded to explain the differences between TVs and telephones.

A Mysterious Stranger from Arizona shares the following:

When I was a kid, I of course watched TV and inevitably saw commercials. You know how it would say "Call the number on your screen"? I, until age twelve, thought that meant you had to transform your television screen into a mysterious telephone, and actually call the number, ON your screen.
