The TV

Danny, who is offended every evening by having to watch the non flat screen TV in the basement, told Tom that if he ever has the misfortune to live in his house, he would have to watch TV in his basement.  He then added, "It will NOT be a flat screen and it will only have basic cable."  I said with a smile, "Well, Daddy grew up watching a black and white TV in his basement with no cable and only 3 channels to watch."  And then Tom added, "Yeah, and I had to share it with my 6 brothers and sisters!"  Tom, thinking he had him beat, smiled at Danny.  Danny immediately retorted, "Well, this time you'd have to share the TV with MOM!"  Point, Game, Match: Danny.
