I have dear friends.
They are a couple with lots of kids and a very busy household with tons of people in and out all the time.
We go for dinner there often.
There are a lot of fights about the tv remote, it seems never to be where it is needed, which causes fights and accusations to fly.
In my house, I covered the thing with glow in the dark tape. When the thing goes missing, we turn off the light, and that works fine.
We tried that at my friend's place too, but that didn't help when the remote goes behind the furniture or into the pile of newspapers.
I bought a cheap wireless door bell and taped it to the remote and the door bell thing to the actual tv.
Now when the remote takes a walk, you ring the door chime and the thing is found fine. Everyone cracks up. The little television calls to the remote.
Ding Dong, everyone laughs.
"Hey who has the remote control?"
Ding Dong!
I am the most popular person in that household.
I feel so very smart today.
I am proud, thought of it myself.
I just got a glowing report.
Glad to be someone's hero.
Olive.
