COINCIDENCE?

On an afternoon Adam Cartwright had programmed the video recorder for his seven year old son Mitch. That afternoon the youngest Cartwright had to play baseball whereby he had to miss one of his favorite cartoon series.

That same evening Ben saw that something had been recorded.

“Hoss, have you recorded something this afternoon?”, the owner of the Ponderosa ranch asked his second son.

“No. Adam must have done that. Mitchy had to play a game and that’s why Adam had programmed the video”, answered Hoss.

Ben sighed deep and said, “Just get that little boy and then we can watch together.”

Hoss went away to return a moment later with his nephew.

“Mitch, shall we watch together what your father has recorded?”, asked Ben.

“Alright”, said Mitch.

De rancher went to sit in his red chair and Hoss and Mitch on the settee. Ben started the video player and had soon found the recorded program.

By the end of the episode of Sheriff For A Day of the Flintstones lag Mitch was rolling on the floor of laughter. But Ben and Hoss too found it funny.

“Grandpa, I didn’t know that you were living already in the stone age”, Mitch said with tears in his eyes of laughter.

“It’s just pure coincidence”, said the rancher.

But his grandson wouldn’t believe it.

“When I have this episode on DVD I can watch it as much as I want”, Mitch said laughing.

From that day on the Cartwrights were very careful with what they saw on the TV. Especially when Mitch was there.
