RE: adventures at Blockbuster

[Guest guest]

LOL that is a great story! What a polite young man too!

adventures at Blockbuster

As I believe I previously commented, Brandt is into movie ratings and

production companies of videos. If we need a stress relief, I can

just let him loose at Blockbuster and he spends ages going up and

down the aisles, looking at the back of video boxes to read the

ratings and the name of the company that produced the film. This

relaxes him. He especially likes to look at the horror films, not to

rent, just to look at the boxes and check the ratings. ( " Can you

believe Anchor Bay, the company that made the Tank Engine

movies also made Halloween and it's rated R, Mom? " )

The following exchange occurred on Sunday when we went to Blockbuster:

B: Mom, I must go speak to the manager. (He marches off clutching

the video box that illustrates the movie and the plain Blockbuster

box behind it that actually holds the movie. I follow curiously.)

B: (to the clerk at the cash register) " Excuse me, you seem to have

a problem here! "

Clerk: " Yes? " (Seems taken aback at this deep-voiced, serious midget

who needs to speak to her...)

B: " Well, as you can see, THIS box (the pictured video box) shows

Alice in Wonderland, the Warner Brothers version (my most-hated video

lately.) And this box that was behind it (the plain box) is Alice in

Wonderland, the Disney version. Someone put this in the wrong place! "

Clerk: " Well, yes, it appears someone did. "

B: (Pats her on the shoulder) " Now,don't you worry all about it. I

can take care of this. I am sure that the correct movie is in the

Disney aisle. I will fix it. "

Clerk: (Stands with mouth open and then says,) " Well, thank you.

B: " No problem, it's my pleasure! "

I, too, stand dumbfounded as he goes to the Disney aisle, finds the

Alice in Wonderland movie box and looks behind.)

B: " Aha! Just as I thought! Someone put it in the wrong place!

Here it is! " (Shakes head in disgust!)

He proceeded to go to the checkout with the right movie and then says

to the girl,

B: " It's all taken care of now! "

When we got to the car, he looked annoyed and I asked,

ME: " You look disturbed. What is wrong? "

B: " Nothing, except it annoys me that people can't put things back

where they belong. "

(At this point, I almost drove off the road laughing hysterically at

the thought of my child who NEVER puts anything away, being annoyed

at someone else doing it poorly. LOL I guess his point is that he

should ALWAYS be able to find the things he wants in the correct

place. I should be glad that this ONE time it was not MY fault he

couldn't find what he wanted. For once, someone else was

responsible.)

I was actually very proud of the way he pointed it out so politely

and fixed it himself, without showing the extreme annoyance he was

probably feeling at the time. What a weird kid! Leggs, mom to

Brandt, 7 years old and AS or HFA.

That is so funny!

Savannah would be equally annoyed at something like that but would stand

there, and very loudly proclaim how stupid the person was for putting it in

the wrong place
