A NEW USE FOR RABBIT EARS




Rabbit ears are making a comeback by people getting new HDTV sets. You need them or an antenna to pick up the auxiliary channels such as PBS broadcasts. Most people have cable TV and don’t have that antenna on the roof.

I heard a new use for rabbit ears. I met up with old friends for coffee and caught up on their lives. One friend’s oldest son is graduating from high school this spring and headed off to college next year. All of us who have been through this experience commiserated and offered solace and support. She remarked she has confidence they have prepared their son for his independence. He is a good kid. She even said she has always been forthright in talking about sex with their kids. “I had to” she said. When the first child was five he asked his father, “How can you tell the difference between boy and girl rabbits?” Her husband told his son “You can tell by the ears”.
