So the tv is on an alarm?
I need this for my kids. They work but have to be harped on.
No, it was just a ruse. A simple trick to make them think the TV was plugged in when it actually was not. So for a week they couldn`t play video games on the big screen because they thought something was wrong with the tv. If they used their brains they could have looked behind the tv and seen that old alarm clock was plugged in instead of the tv ( which they eventually did do after I hinted to the tv being unplugged...the 10 year old actually figured it out not the 14 year old , LOL ). By the way, this is a projection tv not wall mounted. Just a big box type of tv that sits on the floor and has wheels, easily moved.
I periodically challange these kids like this, especially when they upset me for some reason. One , it serves as a punishement. And two, it creates a challange for them to overcome or figure out.
Unfortunately, most of the time they fail the challange. My wife thinks I am mean when I do these things but I am trying to get these kids to overcome their lack of drive and ingenuity, which I believe is a product of their technological driven lives.
