Then when you brought me to the grandparents house I fulfilled my duties there. <BR/><BR/>I would sit right next to the t.v. to change it for grandpa because if I went too far away and he had to watch commercials, I got yelled at. Then once I flipped the channel I would get yelled at for sitting too close to the t.v.
