- Sound: Feet Shuffling
- The Boy: Dad, the remote for the Apple TV isn't working.
- Sound: Me, trying to find the iMac remote without opening my eyes.
- The Boy: Can I use this one?
- Me: Uh.
- The Boy: thanks
- Sound: Feet Shuffling
- (A few minutes later)
- Sound: Feet Shuffling
- The Boy: This one doesn't work either
- Me: Yes it does, I used it last night.
- The Boy: Ok
- Sound: Feet Shuffling
- (A few minutes later)
- The Boy: What does it mean when the AppleTV just shows words?
- Me: I guess it means I have to get up and see for myself
- (Goes down to find the AppleTV at the 'Do you want to do a factory restore?' screen. Reboot. Get it working. Test remotes. Both work. Take iMac remote back)
- Me: There you go. You know how to work it from here?
- The Boy: Yes.
