High Noon: It’s All Algebra To Me

Operating a television also makes me feel dumb. I had just mastered our universal remote (well, maybe that’s an exaggeration, but I could turn the TV off and on) when the government made my husband buy a converter box. It came with another remote. My television consultants carefully showed me how to work it. Then they left for school. When the consultants returned they asked me if I was able to watch the program I was interested in. “No,” I replied. “I’ve been too busy with deadlines and laundry.” “You couldn’t turn the TV on, could you, Mom?” asked the 9-year-old television specialist. I despise television/Cindy Hval, SR Voices. More here .
