Pearl Working the TV

I did a littler babysitting with Goldie and Pearl. After reading several books to them I decided to put on the TV to a show the kids might like. As with all electronics, I couldn't figure out how to turn the stupid TV on. Pearl wanted the remote so I figured she couldn't break it if I couldn't even turn it on.

Next thing I now Pearl's intently watching her favorite show on the TV. How do kids do it?
