Last night, I tried unsuccessfully to switch on the fan using the remote control. I pointed the thing at the standing fan and press as I might on the button, the blurdy fan remained obstinately silent. Out of frustration, I turned to small fry and said to her, "What did you do with the fan? It's not working!"
Note: small fry likes to ambush the fan and constantly turns it off when it is most appreciated. I thought that this time she may have gone so far as to turn it off at the main electrical connection.
She retorted, "Mummy, you're pressing the OFF button!"
"Oh!" replied her sheepish Mummy.
It takes a four year-old to point out that I don't know how to use a remote control. Yikes.
The fan whirred to life as soon as the correct button was pressed.
