Jimmy and Susie visit their uncle Bill. When the phone rings Julie, who's only a little kid you see, makes her toy duck quack into the phone. Uncle Bill takes the phone from her and in a classic line says to the caller, "No, we don't usually have ducks answering the phone" LOL. That Uncle Bill sure is a comedian. He then teaches the kids about why the phone is so important, and teaches the kids the history of the phone. He does this by a cute animated figure named 'Mr Man" The kids all love Uncle Bill to death it seems. What an adorable film1 Highly reccomended!
