Mute Button for Teenagers?

When I was a little girl in school, I hated getting up in front of the classroom. I fervently wished for some magical way to write on the chalkboard without leaving the safeguard of my desk. Now days, of course, there are Smart Boards, interactive displays, and a host of gadgets and gizmos I could never have imagined. There are, however, a few things the world of innovation hasn’t mastered (yet) and we humans are one of them. Take teenagers, for example. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if there were a remote control mute button? One simple push and, voila! No more arguments, no more smart remarks, no more sass. Hmmm…. if I imagine it, will it come?

Book Excerpt

Wildflower Wedding: With a Killer Reception (The Sisters, Texas Mystery Series Book 8)

“Hello there, Ms. Reynolds. Wasn’t expecting you today, ‘specially so late in the evening. Might as well come on in, though. Excuse my stocking feet.” He stood aside so she could enter his TV room.

The room was everything he claimed, and more. Three giant, flat-screen televisions wrapped two walls like a surround-sound theater, all blaring the same action movie. Speakers came out from every angle, promising ample capacity to wake the dead. A third wall boasted three additional monitors, lined up for maximum multi-viewing. In one glance, Madison saw a basketball game, a stock market report, and a cable news show.

When Nigel barked the word “Hush!” all screens went instantly silent.

“I need one of those for my kids. Does it work on teenagers?” Madison asked with a hopeful smile.
