Having just spend two weeks vacationing with the family (including roughly 2,000 km driving), the thoughts of having a remote control for the kids have been drifting in and out of my brain. If you could have one button, which would it be?
Power: turn them off when it's bed time
Volume (yes, including mute): no need to explain this one
Rewind: quickly undo what they just did and let them have a second chance
Fast Forward: get through a 45-minute tantrum in seconds
Pause: I'd use that whenever the phone rings so I can answer it in peace
Record: perhaps so you can blackmail them later?
Channel Up/Down: change their mood
Others?
