Life, the Obstacle Course

The Batteries in the Remote

A woman, who’s, completely CLUELESS of how the world operates, and maybe, it’s due to her simplemindedness from where she grew up, who knows??? Translated…

My parents’ home in Penghu was a two-story mansion, and because of how good the environment was, we’d rarely shut the doors when we’re at home, and naturally, I’d not known about something called “remote control for the gates”; until I’d married off to Kaohsiung, my husband and his family lived in the apartments, and, as we’d rode out on the scooters, in and out of the basement garage, we’d needed to pass through the roll-down gates, and that was when I’d, started learning to use it.

And, the remote controls for the gates became, something I’d gotten used to taking with me when I go out, but one day after work, as I’d pressed down on the buttons, nothing happened to the gates!

replacing the batteries when it stopped working…photo from online, that should be, COMMON sense, but apparently, N-O-T everybody knows it…

I’d waited for my husband to come home, and told him about it, he’d thought about it awhile, then told me, “perhaps, the batteries needed to be replaced?”

“But, aren’t the batteries inside the remotes supposed to last forever?”, I’d asked him.

My husband patted my head, told me, with this seriousness, “Forever Batteries is the brand of the batteries, not all the batteries last forever, okay?”

Ahhhhhhhhhh, so that, was what it was, now it all, made sense.

Either that this woman LACKED the common sense, that batteries in use eventually get drained and need to be replaced, or that she is an IDIOT when it comes to her daily life, or maybe, because she grew up in a home where everybody sleeps with the doors unlocked and opened, because it’s very peaceful there, that she’s having troubles, adapting to the city life, who knows???
