Beth stopped by today and dropped off a huge bag of Disney and other videos that Phyllis had given her. I'm not kidding when I say huge, it's a large shopping bag.
Sam was very impressed and immediately spread the contents across the kitchen floor.
He picked out the Christmas videos in honor of the season. I put the first in for him to watch and when that was over, I reached for the second and realized it hadn't been rewound so I did what any person who wants to maintain the health of an ancient VCR would do, took the thing over to the rewinder. I told him what I was doing.
Sam had a fit! "You didn't put the movie on! Why didn't you put the movie on?"
"I'm rewinding the tape Sam."
That's when I realized something...in Sam's world, nothing needs to be rewound. All movies are DVD's.
Ancient technology, that's what it is. And I'm aging with it since back in MY day there was only live tv. Sam has no clue how that works either since anything we watch we watch through TiVo.

Glad he is enjoying them...and they should bring you hours and hours of peace and quiet.
Just wait til Sam is a little older and needs to place a telephone call from our living room rotary phone! Our phone has already baffled and defeated Dicky's nephews, and they were teenagers at the time.
Here's a true story: A few years ago, Dicky's teenage nephew asked him, "Uncle Dicky, what was YOUR favorite video game when you were a kid?" When Dicky said they didn't exist back then, his nephew laughed and laughed, and then said, "Ha! No, really, what was your favorite?"!!
Okay, here's a story from when we used to live in an apartment. I heard the teenage neighbor girl, Sarah, and her friends clomping up the stairs next door. I heard Sarah enquire of her friends, "Does anyone know how to make popcorn in a pan?."
I felt OLD. To think that I've been alive since before microwave ovens!!
