OK ladies, we all know men & remotes don't mix. It gives them too much control, too much power...but we can't keep them apart. Men & remotes are drawn to each other like a bee to a flower, like a dog to a bone, like Amy Winehouse to crazy creepiness...
Well my 4 year old 'man' is no different. The kid can't leave the remote alone. Especially since he figured out some of the DVR features. He is constantly pausing, rewinding and recording shows. This morning as he was watching Sesame Street was no different. During the show, the pledge appeal people came on. You remember them from your childhood don't you? All you wanted to do was watch The Electric Company and they would come on. Interrupting your show, asking for money. You really wanted them to go away but yet you also really wanted to call in and give them money because sometimes they would say the names of the people who had donated. And more than wanting to watch your show you really wanted to have them say your name on TV!
Anyhoo, Nolan didn't want to watch the pledge lady, he was not happy she was on. So he started pushing buttons on the remote trying to get back to his show. Now is his defense, he was asking me for help. I was cleaning out the dishwasher and told him I'd help him in "just a minute." Famous last words. By the time I got to the remote, he was off to the bathroom, the remote was tossed under a chair and there was something new on TV. 'Hmmmm' I thought 'what is this? It looks like a movie. What channel did he turn it to?' Apparently in his Sesame Street fury, he pulled up the On Demand feature, selected Movies, found a New Release he liked, selected it and ordered it. We are now enjoying the feature presentation He's Just Not That Into You.
I'll let you know if it's any good.

Aren't you glad it was only an R rated movie and not one of those "other" rated movies that they charge like $12.99 for!?
Danette, how do you know the price of those "other" movies???
Ummmm...isn't that what housewives do when their kids are at school and or napping? Relax in the Lazy Boy and watch "other" movies while eating bon bons?!?
HA! That's funny.
Campbelle actually did the adult movie thing this morning... funny I haven't blogged about it myself. I was in the other room changing Beck's diaper and (after telling her several times - just a minutes - when she needed help with her movie) I all of a sudden heard some very swanky music and thought 'Hmmm that doesn't sound like Olivia.' Yep PORN! She just looked at me and said 'This isn't the right channel is it?'
We now have set up the lock controls.
Too funny ~ Thanks for the good chuckle.
I hope it was a good movie. Get out your bonbons and relax. Sounds like Danette knows just what to do. :-)
Another thought!!! Did Campbelle just push the favorite channel button?? :-)
LOL!!! I am waiting for that to happen.....it's already started with Brodie!
