My wife is smart. She has a Bachelor's degree in chemistry of all things! She understand concepts like Ohmes Law and loves to chat about DNA strands and gene things. Amazing stuff that I have little knowlege or desire to comprehend. But hand the woman a remote control and she's lost as a goose.
We got a new TV from the Best Buy up the road. We're just a few days from Eli's first day in Kindergarten so she's spending some quality time at home before that upcoming milestone. They decide to watch a DVD on the new TV. I've got it all hooked up ready to go. For some reason, she can't get it to work. She can't reach me by phone so what does she do? She calls Best Buy and begins to explain to the Best Buy Geeks about her problem. So they respond. Best Buy tells my wife that this may be complicate and promises to call back with help in 10 minutes. They assemble together a team of Geeks with manuals in hand and call back on a conference call to help Brandi with this dilemma. They tell her that this may be difficult...that they are going to step her through this slowly.
"Ok Mrs Chambless, are you ready?"
Step 1 Turn Power on .... Brandi does, "No picture yet"
Step 2 Press the Source Button ....Brandi does... and the movie come on.
She says... "Oh,ok..it works! Thanks."
I don't know. Maybe there is a DNA strand for electronic aptitude. Until we can isolate that gene and administer some gene therapy, thank goodness we have the Best Buy Geeks as a good "source" of remote information.
The electronic gene she gets from her Mama, so hush ya mouth, boy!
