When did running the TV get so complicated? I'm an intelligent woman. I'm University educated. I am woman. I can do anything! Yet when hubby goes away for a few days I end up having a one way conversation with the TV that goes something like this:
Blue screen? Why is there only a blue screen. Huh
Oh. Okay. Power, then TV, then Cable.
Satellite. What? Why did the Satellite come on?
Input what? Input 2 or 3? GRRR C'mon TV Just. Turn. On. I finally got the kids to bed and this is my "me" time and my show already started!
Ah HA! There is the picture. Wait..where in the $@*% is the sound? Take that and that and that and that. (wildly pressing buttons praying something will work)
Why do you HATE me?
Wait..Pause...Woo Hoo. I did it. I have picture and sound. Take that TV! I win.
*I am pathetic

I so know how you feel. Sometimes when the settings are changed in boys room it takes me like twenty minutes to figure out how to get back from DVD to the TV. Thankfully there is nothing special about the one in my room so that is always my fail safe for my "me time" if I cant get my TV time with the big one in the Fam room. Oh well, he understands how to operate the TV I get all the cleaning appliances. Hmmm.... that doesnt really sound fair right?
When in doubt, I ask the kids. They know how to operate all these new-fangled techy thingamabobs.
OMG, I know! I had to wait until my son got home from work so that I could watch a frickin DVD the other night! Arrrgh.
Have you been peeping into my windows??
FUNNY!!
Just so you know, we belong to the same club. ;-)
You see we all try to pretend that we're strong and independent, but really we need our husbands to turn the tv on. So annoying but true!
I tagged you at my blog :)
Oh, I do this ALL the time. Who's going to answer me when the kids are at school - the cat? the cows? But it makes you feel better to vocalise it!
This is a great one! AND so true! You now need a degree to operate one! Of course I guess I just saved a ton of money on college because the the 6 year old doesn't have a problem at all... {{{{Sign}}}}}
