Take it back!
Sample conversation round the house these days:
Mom: *sighs* "This movie's too slow."
Dad: *no reply*
Mom: *Gets up* "I'm going upstairs until there's something else on. If it were me, I'd fastforward it."
Dad: "Then fastforward it. Take it."
Mom: *Heads upstairs*
Dad: *Sharply, loudly* "It's waiting for you! Take it! Come here and take it!"
5 minutes later, Mom comes downstairs.
Mom: (about the remote) "I can't work this thing!"
Dad: "Where it says fastforward."
Mom: "I can't read that!"
Dad: "Then get your glasses."
Mom: "I don't want to go all the way upstairs and get them."
*Mom attempts to fastforward, going to far*
Mom: "Now I can't get it to stop! I went to far!"
Dad: "Push the rewind button."
Mom: "It went too far again! I can't work this."
Dad: "Now, just hold on!"
*Amber thumps her head against the desk* Anyone want a roommate?
