TV

It was a most ordinary Sunday evening.

As usual, Vivian and I brought Euterpe and Adler to visit my in-laws. My mum was staying home with Minnie, my Indonesian maid. Uny, my other maid, was on holiday.

After dinner, my father-in-law turned on the television. It was the tri-colour channel.

Some soap opera was on. It was a sponsored program. And tons of embedded advertisement. In no time my wife sighed, “This is hopeless. Let’s turn if off and do something more useful.”

We ended up listening Evgeny Kissin and Vienna Boys’ Choir from YouTube.

We returned home later that evening.

My mother was reading Next Magazine in the living room. She was obviously very happy.
