Watching TV with my grandpa is interesting to say the least. He is notorious for watching TV on mute and on the off chance he actually IS watching a show, he will immediately hit the MUTE button when the commercials begin to play. I can understand turning the volume down, but going completely mute......?
A few times this week he has been a little slow on the draw, and just when I start to get caught up in some clever little commercial that all too familiar red letter word "MUTE" pops up on the screen, and all the excitement is drained away. You let out a sigh in the hopes that maybe next time you'll get to catch the ending to the commercial you missed.
So as he continues in his habit of muting commercials, we who are watching the program as well are left to our own devices of entertainment. Its like your eyes don't know where to look. Watching a silent TV is not so fun, and I find that my eyes begin to roam aimlessly around the room while we wait in anticipation for our show to resume. At one point he got so busy complaining about the commercials that he forgot to take the MUTE off when the show came back on, which we kindly pointed out.
I think Grandpa is about to have a "mute"iny on his hands...........hahaha!
