I think there is a control freak in our family… and no it’s not me.

Let me give you one small example.

Rachel’s MacBook almost always sits on top of the entertainment center, with audio and video hooked up to the television. Now, Macs have this cool program called Front Row, and they also have remote controls. The remote always sits on the shelf next to the rocking chair.

We often use Rachel’s MacBook to play music through the TV by means of the remote and Front Row. When an album or playlist gets done, Allen immediately begins frantically pointing at the shelf where the remote resides practically shouting “Moe, Moe” and then pointing to the TV (Moe means remote)…

Yes, that’s what I call micro management! smile

Sounds familiar… Margary tries to micromanage every time the phone rings or dog barks to be let out (or back in). Except that she doesn’t have words for any of these things, so she just overrides all current cacophony by pointing and grunting at the top of her lungs. It’s pretty impressive.

David is in a “MOE, MOE” stage - but it “MORE, MORE”, not remote, and usually revolves around food.

Go figure.

Yeah, Allen has a word for More that is slightly different… and “Moe” doesn’t quite get how he pronounces remote but it was the best I could come up with smile.
