The Busy Signal

I called my grandparents yesterday because it was my Nanu's birthday and since he has been going strong for so long, I wanted to make it a point to call him and wish him a good one. But that's besides the point. The first time I called, the phone didn't ring and started to make this beeping noise. I was caught off guard at first because I didn't know what it was, but then I realized, it was the busy signal. I haven't heard that in ages.

At dinner last night, I brought up the busy signal to O Todd and wanted his thoughts on the last time he has heard it, and he couldn't really place it. I thought about it and there are really only two land lines that I call (1) my parents and (2) my grandparents, but normally it rings straight through. I just thought it was quite the concept that we always call cell phones now and get sent straight to voicemail if both lines are occupied. So I guess think about it and remember when the last time you heard it was....or you can think about how I have wasted the past few minutes of your life talking about a busy signal.
