You go figure this one.
The Sleeping Giant
by Aussie
I'm so tired, been working day and night. Great, the human has left the room. Think I will have a snooze with my two overworked partners.
Ah, the darkness helps me recover from my working schedule. I am affected by too much light.
Partner one is snoring, partner two is waiting for the human to wake him up - again.
The crash of the door alerts us all to the human who is looking rather haggard after a day behind a store counter. Maybe, just maybe she will leave us all alone.
Oh, no there goes the lights, hurts my eyes. Oh, she is thinking about flipping a switch. I hope it's not my switch."
Phew, she is using the radio tonite, does that mean she will leave us alone?
I can smell food; poor old microwave is having a nervous breakdown. His interior covered in scrambled eggs."
Hmm..now she is moving towards the bathroom. Goodie! Nup, changed her mind. Our time is up. There goes the switches all three. I am lit up like a Christmas Tree!

I have caved in to the curious! The Sleeping Giant is a Giant TV! His pals are remotes.
