The Battle for the Remote Control

Written by Lexi on Sat Oct 21 2023

Hey there journal,

Another day, another battle with my annoying older sister. Today's battleground? The living room and the sacred remote control. It seems like we can never agree on what to watch, and this constant power struggle is driving me crazy.

Introduction

You know how they say that siblings are supposed to be best friends? Well, that definitely doesn't apply to me and my sister. We may only be a year apart in age, but it feels like we come from different planets. I'm Lexi - the cool one - while she's just... well, let's just say she lacks style.

Clash of Tastes

It all started innocently enough today when I walked into the living room after a long day at school. All I wanted was some quality time with our beloved TV shows or maybe even catch up on a new movie release.

But as luck would have it, there she was already lounging on our comfy couch wielding the remote control like it was her precious treasure. And if you think for one moment that she'd willingly hand over this coveted device without putting up a fight – oh boy – you clearly don't know her very well.

Round 1: Rom-Com vs Action-Packed Adventure

Now let me tell you something about my sister: She has an unhealthy obsession with cheesy romantic comedies (or "chick flicks" as I call them). Me? Well, action-packed adventures are more my thing; those adrenaline-pumping movies where heroes save the world while explosions light up the screen!

Naturally then came our first clash of tastes for tonight’s entertainment choice:

Lexi: "Ugh! Can't we ever watch something other than your mindless violence?"

Me: "Mindless violence?! Have you seen these epic battles? They're pure art!"

And so began round one of our ongoing battle for control over what graces our television screen.

Round 2: Reality TV vs Crime Drama

As if our disagreement over movie genres wasn't enough, we found ourselves in another heated debate when it came to choosing a series. Lexi has this strange fascination with reality TV shows – you know, those ones where people do absolutely nothing but argue and backstab each other for fame and fortune. Personally, I find them utterly mind-numbing.

On the contrary, crime dramas have always captured my attention; watching brilliant detectives solve complex cases is like solving puzzles for me. But of course, trying to explain that logic to Lexi was an exercise in futility:

Lexi: "Why would anyone want to watch fake crimes being solved when they can witness real drama unfold?"

Me: "Because there's something satisfying about seeing justice prevail! Plus, who needs all that petty arguing on reality shows? It's exhausting!"

Round 3: Comedy Marathon vs Sci-Fi Binge-Watching

Just when I thought our remote control battles couldn't get any worse - they did! This time around it was all about comedy marathons versus sci-fi binge-watching sessions. Now don’t get me wrong - laughter is great and all - but too much of anything becomes boring pretty quickly!

Meanwhile, science fiction takes us on incredible adventures through space and time; it challenges our imagination while making us question the very fabric of reality itself. How could she not see the brilliance in that?

Lexi (rolling her eyes): "You really need a break from your imaginary worlds sometimes."

Me (sarcastically): "Oh yeah? Well at least I'm not stuck in some never-ending loop of laugh tracks!"

Conclusion

And so dear journal you can probably guess how this epic battle between my sister and me ended… With neither one of us giving up until Mom intervened with her usual solution—a rotation schedule which left both parties feeling somewhat satisfied yet still longing for complete victory.

As I sit here reflecting on the remote control war that has consumed our lives, I can't help but wonder why something so insignificant as a TV remote could cause such chaos between siblings. Perhaps it's not really about the shows or movies we want to watch; maybe it's just an outlet for all the pent-up frustration and rivalry that inevitably comes with being sisters.

But hey, who knows? Maybe one day we'll find common ground and agree on what to watch without resorting to verbal battles. Until then, this is Lexi signing off... until our next epic clash over the remote control!
