Remote

"Arie, will you get me a remote with soft buttons," my brother Daniel inquired of me the other day. You are probably thinking as I did, "huh,?...did I understand that correctly." And the answer is, yes, you did. He did indeed ask for a remote with soft buttons. More specifically, he desired small television or VCR remote control he could "take the batteries out of and take to school" in his pocket. So, the question remains, "why?" Well, you see, he enjoys rubbing the "soft" rubber buttons. My life! Leave it to Daniel to think of the thing I would have never considered! (Though, after he showed me, I admit I do understand what he means) Apparently, during movies, he sits on the couch, floor, or wherever he happens to perch himself, and fingers the buttons on the remote. He tells me that sometimes he accidently pushes buttons and stops, rewinds, or fast-forwards the movie. "Then Josh has to take the remote away and fix it." Thus, he needs his own without batteries. Makes sense. Don't you agree? Well, I don't know if I will grant his wish or not. But, I had to chuckle and say, "Daniel, you've earned yourself a paragraph on my website!"
