High Drama
So WildChild spent the night last night and we're finishing his bedtime routine. One movie then lights out. He picked out a tape and I popped it in his VCR. Nothing but static. I started fiddling around checking for loose connections when he exclaimed "Oh no! My tv broke!" He ran over, threw his arms around the tv & snuggled his cheek up against it....and started wailing "MY TV! MY TV!"
"Fix it, Ma, fix it!" he urged.
I tell him that we may have to get Pa to fix it because I can't find anything wrong with it. "Pa! Come fix my tv!" he called.
Pa is in the other bedroom watching tv, so of course he doesn't answer.
"Pa! WildChild is talking to you!"
By this time I'm trying not to crack up. He took off to get Pa, yelling his head off. "Pa! Come fix it." I finally figured out what was wrong** and went to get him.
"Ma fix my tv?"
"Yes," I replied. "Your tv is all fixed."
"YAY! MA FIXED MY TV! THANK YOU MA!"
Big hug and cheers for Ma.
Sheesh. They're so dramatic at that age.
**The stupid tape wasn't rewound, that's all that was wrong. I hadn't checked that because his VCR automatically rewinds when the tape ends. Apparently, someone had taken this tape out before that happened.
D'oh.

It happens to everyone (or at least it has happened to this household).
