Flailing his hands a bit, Merlin made an odd sort of noise of frustration. "Emmett said it was like a soap opera!"

"My grandma and I watch a lot of soap operas together when I'm at home for the summer, and I've never seen one with girl-on-girl action like that!" screeched Harper.

"How do I stop it?" Merlin asking pushing buttons on the remote.

No, that only made it louder.

"Oh, gee, I don't know. Maybe you should hit 'stop' to stop it?" said Harper, unable to hold back the sarcasm.

Maybe he was one of those foreign kids from a third-world country that didn't have digital cable and HGTV, Harper realized. She kind of felt bad for him.

"Usually it's the little button with the red square. Is there a button like that?"
