Food Network

In the absence of college football on a Saturday afternoon, I quiz Don on what TV shows he is most interested in as a substitute. He picks a long-standing favorite of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives on the Food Network. Closer to dinnertime, I check in with him and start getting him prepped for the evening meal. 

Don: This turned out to be Harry Potter. 

Kristy: On the Food Network channel? Does that make sense to you?

Don points at the TV that is advertising some food items. I tell him it’s not Harry Potter, but a commercial on the Food Network. 

Don: I want BBQ chips. 

Kristy: OK. 

What a coincidence he’s hungry watching a food ad on the Food Network channel. Eyes and brain saw food, but mouth uttered Harry Potter. 

Note to Self: I can’t fix this malfunction. It’s way above my pay grade.
