Motion Activated

That's what is says on the paper towel dispenser in the Ladies Room. I wonder what could happen if there was an "e" in front of that. What kind of scenes does that evoke? Would the scene in the Ladies Room be different than the Mens Room?

While I was pondering this very question, I decided one possible scenario was about to play out. I had invited people to dinner and had, instead of preparing for my company, spent the day driving about and eating ice cream. With only an couple of hours left before they were to arrive, I thought I might get Emotion Activated.

Then the phone rang. It was my guests wondering if they could come a little early. (An hour early.)

Emotion Activated.
