Ruth Pretending to Talk on the Phone

Loaded for the Vintage Photos Theme Park theme of: Telephones
This is 1964 and shows our fellow next door neighbor immigrants from England in their new house in Connecticut.
Unlike our family they had owned a phone in England, but it was absolutely only for their father's business use.
"When it rang [very rarely, probably] my sister and I used to stand there and look at it". (says Ruth).
This was taken in the first few days they were in the States. Ruth is pretending to talk, because as she says, "Who would I call?"
Our family didn't get a phone until months later. We had never had one, and my parents didn't understand, at that point, the reason for one.
