She then explained that Calvin asked if he could use it to call her while she is on the road covering the Kentucky Derby this weekend, which she does every year, and noted: "Had to teach him how to use it first!!

Fans were then quick to take to the comments section under the post and rave over it, with one writing: "This is awesome! Most kids have never seen one and if they did, they don't know how to use one," as others followed suit with: "That's so cool! We've had this style, the wall mounted one and the princess style one!" and: "Omg! I love this!" as well as: "This made me smile, thanks for sharing Cal's moment with this prehistoric machine!"
