the living room during times when we're out, and they were starting to looked bored. For just over 9 bucks on Amazon I found this thing called a "radio" that will play music or other stuff for them. And you don't even have to plug it into a receptacle - it runs by itself with batteries!!!! No joke, it really works!! See those knobby/slidey dial things on the right side? You just push the lowest one up and down depending on whether you want it to make any one of numerous music genres (as in the down position as it is there), or up, if you want people talking or preaching. I won't put it on the latter because those people tend to yell a lot. The middle "dial" (they call it, so I've adopted the lingo) makes the sound that comes out of this thing louder or quieter. The upper "dial" slides a red thing back and forth in the top window in front and that changes what the sound is that comes out of this. That silver rod thing coming out of the top left apparently has something to do with how clear the noise is that comes of of this thing.
