We have been having ongoing internet problems (another long story) and have just become really fed up with the phone company who keep saying there is no problem with the line. The fact that we have already tried 2 modems to connect to the internet and they both have the same problem means nothing to them, even when one of the modems was supplied by them. Anyway, after having a technician come round for the 3rd time and say there’s no problem with your line, it must be the modem, we gave in and agreed to buy one of their modems to fix the problem. The same problem occurs with the new modem so now the phone company are saying that it must be a problem with the power outlets in our house!!!
Anyway, the modem (actually a modem/router) came in a box. Shira was very interested in the box and kept asking what was in it. Ruth told her that the internet was in the box. This morning when I was sat at the table with the router box in front of me, Shira came up to me and said “Internet in box”. I asked Ruth what she was talking about and then found out what had happened. To keep Shira quiet, Ruth had told her that the internet was in the box and she shouldn’t touch it!
Made me smile.
