The story of Dial the Weather Lady

Bored kids discovered a magic number that always answered. A soothing voice gave the time, the temperature and a forecast, then started over forever. Some kids called a dozen times a day. Others tried talking back, convinced she would answer one day. She never did, but the hope kept everyone dialing.

Fun fact

Kids at one sleepover swore the recording once said goodnight instead of the time, and nobody ever heard it again.
