Transcript of “Emote Control”
We had a voicemail from Ed Lawrence. He was calling about that conversation that we had about what you call that thing that you use to change the channels when you’re watching TV. It’s called your children, or at least it was when I was growing up.
Well, funny you should mention that. You know, we talked about how some people call it a clicker or a channel changer. But speaking of children, Ed says that his three-year-old son used to say, “I need the emote control.” And Ed says, we’ve called it the emote control ever since. And I’m thinking, gosh, I know some people who could use some emote control.
Yeah. Three-year-olds are definitely all in need of emote control. I don’t think many of us get it till we’re in our early 20s. That’s true. Good point. Occasionally, I have waves of need of emote control now in my middle ages.
Right, so you don’t tear your hair out. Emote control. Well, Martha and I like to help you control your emotes when it comes to talking about language and books and reading and writing and talking, whether badly or well. Call us 877-929-9673.
