My Strange Addiction:

Mildred Montag - Television

Tyler: Hello Mildred! How are you doing today?

Mildred Montag: Very fine.

Tyler: Today we are going to talk about your strange addiction…the television.

Mildred Montag: Ah, yes! The television is my true best friend. The shows are my closest addition to the house given to me by my husband, Guy Montag. I probably spend over 15 hours a day simply watching the television.

Tyler: 15 hours?!?! Don’t you think that is a bit…much?

Mildred Montag: Is it? Nearly all my friends who are not from the television do about the same…but perhaps I do go above and beyond. The television is honestly always there for me. I can watch the television whenever I want and for whatever amount of time I please.

Tyler: There are many other activities you can engage in though or perhaps go out in the world to meet with new people.

Mildred Montag: Going outside takes far too much effort. Why would I leave when I could be happy inside without exerting any energy? =D

Tyler: To get the health that you and many other people in our society need!
