Some of you may remember a few months back when I posted my thoughts on Logitech’s Harmony One universal remote. I love this remote. It has got to be one of the best gadgets in my house. Anyways, I discovered a new use for it: teasing my kids.
Sunday night, Emma and Alex were watching television. I was standing behind the sofa with my Harmony One while Emma was trying to surf channels using the television’s remote. She would change the channel and I would mute the television. She’d then un-mute it and I’d change the channel. After a few minutes of this Emma became extremely frustrated and actually got up to change the channel. I muted the TV again. She was so angry that she shut the television off and told Alex that they couldn’t watch TV because it was broken. At this point, I couldn’t contain myself any longer and began laughing. I told Emma that the TV was fine and that I was the one causing the problems. She responded by hiding my remote when I wasn’t looking. Lucky for me, I was able to find it relatively easily.
Emma has vowed revenge upon me and Holly has agreed to help. Now I need to constantly be vigilant and expect cold water being dumped on me in the shower and all other manner of good revenge tactics. It was worth it though.
