Do you ever have one of those moments when you realise that sometimes you simply have to accept what life throws at you? That no matter what you do, your loved ones will blindside you every once in a while. Well, I just had one of those moments.
I don't often buy DVDs but we do rent them pretty regularly, with me preferring the 7 day postal service from from www.movietrak.com and SWMBO giving her patronage to the Blockbuster concession at the local supermarket.
However, a couple of weeks ago, I walked past the DVD section in the supermarket when 'Stuart Little 2' caught my eye. The kids had enjoyed the original so, with the winter weather upon us and the nights closing in, I needed little prompting to buy a copy to take home and enjoy. Having watched it, I didn't give it much thought until the other day when the youngest asked to watch it again. I hunted high and low but I couldn't find it and neither could anyone else. SWMBO was strangely silent on the missing disc and it was only today that the truth emerged. Despite the fact that the DVD was in a picture case with a price label on it, she'd calmly and carefully posted the DVD I'd bought into Blockbuster's returns drop-box!.
Staff at the Blockbuster concession smugly denied all knowledge of the over-zealous return so I guess someone's kid is getting a freebie gift in 10 day's time.
