Like Father, Like Son?

Just so James doesn't feel left out, I've got a quick antecdote for him about his son...

Last week we went to the apartment to visit Matt. While there Loretta asked Chuck to fix the television. Turns out Matt got ahold of the remote control and simultaneously pressed buttons on the television. The picture had been snowy for a few days as Loretta was at a loss to fix it. Chuck quickly put the tv back on channel 3 and tuned the satellite box. Seems Matt likes to tinker with electronics and generally push buttons. Now we know where he got that from...

I think Uncle Chuck is proud of his nephew too. With pride he walked me through the steps of what buttons Matt must have attacked - and there were many.

Now we're waiting to see what Matt will get into next.

  1. Now THAT's my boy!!

    Man, that separate cable box is killing Tita. It never seems to stay programmed, and it's pretty much the same one that was reliable in Texas.

    Actually, I'm quite interested to see how Zach ends up with console gaming. He's getting an early start with the controllers, and while I suppose it doesn't matter whether it's a remote, a game controller, or a mouse if it exposes the kids to technology, it can't hurt to have a sophisticated controller in hand from the beginning ...

    Thanks for adding weight to the theory that Matt's not the milkman's :)

  2. Don't be so sure. Some milkmen are pretty tech-savvy. :-)

  3. Matt might be the milkman's son but I used to say Zach was the postman's son. Who knows, maybe he really is... ?
