When Your Smart Device Taunts You

Hey y’all! See this bad boy? He’s officially called a Zenergy but there’s a story behind his new nickname and he is not as innocent as this pic would suggest. ⁣⁣

⁣⁣

The beloved farmer and I bought him a while back. (I wrote about it here.)  We used him for a while —until he somehow got unplugged, and sat alone through the busy holidays. I fixed that yesterday. He fixed me this morning…⁣⁣

⁣⁣Way before daylight (as planned ) he began to glow and to play instrumental music, softly (as planned) to wake one up gently. ⁣⁣

I remember this, I thought. I like it. ⁣⁣

Only, I apparently lay there liking it a few minutes too long for him because he suddenly began blaring and I do mean blaring the song “Bad Boys”, as in, “Bad boys, bad boys, what ‘cha gonna do—“⁣⁣

⁣⁣I could NOT make him stop. I tried every button. He resisted every effort, until I had no recourse but to snatch his cord from the wall again. ⁣⁣

I do not remember this feature. I’m not a fan. ⁣⁣

I’m giving Bad Boy one more chance before I gift him to the garbage collectors, fancy whistles and lights and all. ⁣⁣

Bad Boy, bad boy, what ‘cha gonna do? What ‘cha gonna do when I come for you? ⁣

Hugs,
Shellie
