The TV Chronicles of Yakistan by Callan Fox

On day one as I first entered my new home for the next three weeks, Yakistan, my mom made an observation. “That is a VERY old TV.” It was like a warning sign for what was about to unfold with our old little television. The first time that we used our TV was that first night, while we were trying to watch a movie called Dear John. Key word here is tried, because it took about thirty minutes to even get to the proper channel for the TV. We found out that none of the buttons worked as they should- the “up” volume button turned the volume both up and down, the “down” button on the channels didn’t work, and many more funky features. Alas, we continued to use our TV, each night just getting a little quicker with our channel switching to over a hundred. I wish I could say that there was a happy ending to this story, but unfortunately all this ends in is Maddie’s grievance about how annoying it was every night. But hey, at least we’re getting some good bonding time over how horrible it is to get twenty minutes of a very old movie?
