remote is instinctive for husband

our new remote arrived yesterday
the package weighed nineteen pounds
the instruction book was eleven hundred and sixty-two pages thick
my husband began clicking away with it

managing a tv remote is instinctive for him
there is nothing easy about a remote in my wheelhouse
he goes click, click, click, click, click
without opening the stupid book

I have to ask him to slow down his clicking
to tell me what he has pressed
I try to write it down
but I cannot write that fast
