Rules for watching

The TV Program

It is ridiculous to turn on the TV and watch. There is so much rubbish. You must look at the program. You say you have no time but how much time do your need? Just tuck it in your pocket and read it, you know, in the toilet, lock yourself in. A couple of minutes is all you need. Look down the list, there are always some movies, every week there is a good movie.

Remote Control and Special Plugs

If you buy remote control for the TV, you are wrong. The children, of course, they will tic, tic, tic, change the channels all over the place. They fight. It is no good, you can’t watch anything. But, there are some plugs you know, which fit into the back of the TV, you can buy them. One is for the deaf, it makes the sound bigger but also there is a plug which fits in the ear and the sound only comes through the plug and not out of the TV. So you can watch the TV and the children can play their games at the table.

Sport

The husband of course watches the sport, football or cricket. So if the movie is on, too bad. The worst is when there is football on one channel and football on the other channel too. Then the husband is angry. It isn’t right, the TV should have only one football on at a time.

The Movie

For example, the Caruso movie was on last week. Caruso, the singer, the best. It was the last one he made before he died. I cried and Monica cried. Bill Collins said, “It is called ‘The First Time’ but really it was his last time.” It was different you know because he was so young, like Schmidt. The Germans did it to him, they put him in the gas ovens, but he was famous and they were sorry later.
