A New Day Dawned…

Maggie and I had to make do with Kraft singles cheese toast this morning. It was almost laughable. I had run out of cheddar. We are going tonight after Janice’s birthday party to buy groceries.

“Can you do both?” Dad asked worriedly about me.

“We are going to give it the good college try,” I replied to him.

“My Apple TV keeps messing up,” Dad told me. “Could you come look at it? It is driving me crazy! Halfway through a show it will cutout.”

I headed to my father’s house after a spat of summer rain ended.

“I think we need a new wireless router,” dad said. “It keeps saying the signal is weak or no signal.”

“Let me think and get my bearings,” I told my father.

It then malfunctioned as I was watching The Crown and I knew exactly what it was.

“It’s your cheap GE HDMI cable,” I told me father.

I switched out the HDMI cable and things have worked swimmingly for the rest of the afternoon. Dad was just lavishing me with praise he was so overjoyed. He called me a genius. He watches Apple TV and Netflix more than he does regular cable these days.

It’s funny your dad thinks he knows what’s wrong ,cable box or modem. Does he realize how smart you are to find the correct problem.
