Upgrade

Back when cable first came out they gave you a box with buttons to change channels that was attached to the cable box by a wire, made it hard to loose. When remotes finally came out, the ambulance I was working at decided to upgrade. Well, I use to work with this one person on a regular basis that would bring in their 8 year old child with them since they couldn’t afford a baby sitter. During one shift the child was busy watching their cartoons and weren’t aware of the new remote, but I was. So being a nuisance by nature, I was down the hall changing the channels from their show to others and then back. They were desperately looking for the old box until they realized what was going on. Then I had to run and hide. You don’t know fear until you have gotten between an 8 year old and their favorite cartoon!
