Standing on My Own

Thank you ever so much for offering to do it for me! That is genuinely kind of you, but I really must learn to stand on my own two plastic feet. Look, I decided to stride forward across the cushion, but my heel snagged right on the rubber volume button of the television remote! GAH! Why on earth are these buttons so sticky and stubborn?! Get out of my way! ...Ahem. Please pardon my temper, that was terribly uncivilized. I took a steadying breath, pushed both golden hands firmly against the hard plastic casing, and popped my foot free with a satisfying snap. See? Completely under control!
