Battle for the TV Remote

Dog. Humans. TV.

It’s eight o’clock, the dog is in the middle of the sofa, my wife on one end, and I on the other. The TV show is about over. I reach for the remote, and the remote moves, not on its own, but my wife moves it.

I say, “I would like to watch something.”

The wife replies, “I too would like to watch something.”
