Don't F*ck with the old mans remote

I know it sounds petty but damnit this irritates me. On the upside, I should reflect, I should realize that if this is an annoyance.....well life is pretty good in the Zig house. On the downside, this is a prolonged war. A war without mercy......a nasty nasty little war.... There are contrary to belief, rules in the Zig house. Most of them mundane, treat people nice....pick up after yourself, most enforcement is pretty lax because most rules are if not obeyed.....not terribly stepped upon......but 1 rule is pretty damn clear. DO NOT MESS WITH MY REMOTES! I dunno, this is one I never planned on. It never occurred to me that my children would "borrow the batteries" from a perceived unused remote for a toy. It never occured to me that my children would feel the need to use a remote while sitting 2 damn feet from the tv.... For the love of GAWD KIDS!!!! You are less than an arms length from the TV........WTF do you need a remote for???? The answer was harder for me when I asked my son this......well dad, you said I couldn't touch the hardware, no matter what.....so needed the remote....... Touche manchild.............touche..... BTW....your both grounded till one of you finds the remote to the DVD player.... Take care goofs and friends!!!!! :)
