My Back Up DVR

I’ve griped several times already that I need a back up DVR. Well, dear readers, I have one. And it is my sister. Allow me to explain.

This morning I attempted to watch a few recorded episodes of How I Met Your Mother. It was off to a great start. Barney had slept with Robin. Marshall was eating a hot dog out of the toaster. Lily had a goat. Then….nothing. The darn thing cut off halfway through the episode. I immediately got on the phone to Melissa.

“Melissa, I was watching HIMYM and it was Ted’s birthday and there was a goat and Barney picked him up in a Limo and Ted said ‘Where is this party?’ and Barney said, ‘Vegas’ and then it cut off! Go!!”

Without hesitation, Melissa identified the correct episode and began quoting lines I’d missed and filling in plotlines on the spot.

It’s a skill.

And that is another reason why I love my sister.
