ME: Give it to me!
HIM: No.
ME [reaching]: Gimme!
HIM: No. Stop it.
ME [fighting for it, getting irritated]: Seriously, give it up!
HIM: NO! You had it last night.
ME: Two minutes worth, maybe... I need it NOW!
Pitter-patter of little feet down the hallway...
MISS PRISS [raises eyebrows, fakes annoyance]: Ahem!
ME: Daddy won't give me the remote.
MISS PRISS [smirks and makes a quick move.]
I had the left covered, Miss Priss dove for the right hand, and the component in question was readily acquired.
We may not have won the war, but we won the battle.
I carry the damn remote with me, or hide it when he's not around. I like winning the battles.
My Grandma used to say "A little aggravation will make you live longer", if that is true, my guy will live a long, long, time. Heh.

So, if you ever needed to "define" the blog, you might now have an alternative.

Posted by: James Old Guy at September 27, 2004 02:02 PMThanks for the quote, Bryan.
James, there is often similar dialogue that has nothing whatsoever to do with the remote. ; )
