Ever since I was little I've watched tv shows and movies of two neighborhood kids living in houses so close to one another they could communicate from their upstair bedrooms by using simple means of communication: "Flash Foward" (phone), "Just Friends (walk talkies) [I realize that this movie is more recent but for some reason it came to mind]. While watching, I always thought, "Man! I wish I had that!"
When my new neighbor Aaron suggested that we make a can & string telephone from my bedroom to his I thought he was kidding. Thus, you can imagine my delight when I discovered that not only was he serious but he had already purchased & assembled the equipment for some serious can & string communication.
Yesterday my dream came true!
"Hello neighbor!"
"I love speaking into a can!"
"This still smells like spaghetti-Os"
