Christina’s favorite channel is the Style Channel.
Yesterday evening, before she got home from work, I put a parental lock on it.
LOL.
Later, around 10:30 PM, I’m working on a web site (gotta pay for that new computer), and she comes in all sorta flustered; not in a bad way, just sorta flustered.
“What’s wrong honey?” (I honestly didn’t know)
“Something’s wrong with the cable.”
“(LOTI=laughing on the inside) Um, really?”
“Yea; I think I forgot my pin. I tried everything: my normal, a couple others and now it’s locked me out.”
(LOTI)
I come out to see what she’s done, and it says:
“The channel you have requested has been locked out because you have put in an incorrect pin; please try again later or call your cable operator at 1-888-xxx-xxxx.”
I start to laugh but, my friends, I did not confess.
While I’m fidgeting with the cable remote, trying to re-set it, she calls the cable company.
“Yes, hello? I think I forgot my pin or something or maybe I locked myself out. I’m trying to pull up the style channel. Yea, #85.”
“Unhuh. Christina McCormack.”
“Unhuh.”
I’m laughing, and not ‘fessing.
“Hahaha”, as she says to me: “The guy said ‘sometimes husbands will lock out the jewelry channels,’ “.
I LAUGH EVEN HARDER.
At this point, I’m almost uncontrollable.
“Ok, it’s working now; thanks.”
She hangs up, and few seconds of looking at me crying, she goes, “Why are you laughing so hard?”
“Oh, gee; why do you think?”
“Cause I locked myself out?”
“Ugh! No! What did the guy just tell you lolol??”
“Reset the button?”
“NOOOO!!!!” “BEFORE THAT!”
“That sometimes husbands lock the jewelry chann….Did YOU do this???!!!”
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
