This morning on the way to work, I realized that one of the CDs we listen to in the Jeep was missing.
Yeah, I know, we're the only people left on the planet who actually buy CDs. I like owning the physical disc and the lyric booklets, okay?
Anyway, this is what happened:
Me: "Did you lose the Awolnation CD?"
The Prince: "No? It should be in the basket with the rest of them."
Me: "It's not. I think you lost it."
The Prince: "You do realize that, most times, when we think something is lost, we end up finding it in one of your 37 purses."
Me: "That's not even close to true. I own about a thousand CDs at this point and I've never lost a single one.* Maybe I lose things sometimes, but I don't lose MYSELF on the way to the store."
*This is a lie
The Prince: "You're really never gonna let that go, are you?"
Me: "I wouldn't count on it."
It was at this point that I took a CD out of the player, put another one in, and then put the first CD in the case of the second one.
The Prince: "DID YOU JUST PUT THE WRONG CD IN THE WRONG CASE?"
Me: "Yeah, you know I do that all the time. This way it's like a lovely little surprise every time you grab a different CD. You think you're getting John Butler Trio, but then it's like SURPRISE! You get Walk the Moon!"
The Prince: "NOOOO. I SPENT LIKE HALF AN HOUR LAST WEEK PUTTING THEM ALL BACK IN THE RIGHT CASES. YOU'RE RUINING EVERYTHING."
Me: "Whatever."
The Prince: "AND ARE YOU JUST SHOVING ALL THOSE CDS IN THE SLOT IN THE DOOR? THEY DON'T BELONG THERE. THERE'S A BASKET BEHIND MY SEAT FOR A REASON."
Me: "Fine, fine, I'll put them in the basket."
The Prince: "Put that one you defiled in the correct case first."
Me: "Too late, already put them away."
The Prince: "That CD being in the wrong case is going to bother me all day, you know that, right?"
Me: "I've got bad news for you. All those CDs I just put away? Like, all six of them?"
The Prince: "Yeah?"
Me: "NONE OF THEM ARE IN THE RIGHT CASES. NONE."
The Prince: "You are so walking home from work today."
Hahahahaha,

<3 We're one in the same, my friend.
ReplyDeleteI do the same with DVDs.
It's like an Easter egg hunt of FUN every time!
ahahhhah. Yes. FUN.
DeleteRemember that time your dad left your mom downtown? I see part two posting tomorrow. You two should really have your own reality show. This shit needs to be documented in film!
ReplyDeleteYes... it worries me that The Prince might learn things from my dad...
DeleteI would LOVE to have my own sitcom/reality show. Bring. it. on.
Hahaha. I love actual CDs. I like your reasoning for switching up the CDs and the cases. SURPRISE!
ReplyDeleteIt's all sunshine and roses until I really want a particular CD and then I have an anxiety attack because I can't find it! ;)
DeleteOH boy I hope that doesn't happen often!
DeleteLOL, I put them in all the wrong cases too. But I frustrate myself by doing this. Too lazy to do it right.
ReplyDeleteYep. Lazy gets me every time.
Deletebahahahahaha. I do that with DVD's a lot. Maybe you should do that to him--that's REALLY piss him off!
ReplyDeleteooooh the DVDs.... hadn't even thought of that yet. Totally going there.
DeleteYou two always have very interesting convos. I hope you do chk out the emotional brilliance line.
ReplyDeleteyep.. interesting, that's it ;)
DeleteHaha a wonderful tale as always. Nice to see The Prince has an obsessive side! :P xx
ReplyDeleteoh, does he ever! we're both picky about different little things.
DeleteHaha a wonderful tale as always. Nice to see The Prince has an obsessive side! :P xx
ReplyDeleteWas that an evil laugh I heard at the end there....nice. :)
ReplyDeleteJust the other day I found a pair of earrings I SWORE "I could NEVER find". Yeah, they were in one of my 37 purses...
xoxo
totally, totally evil.
DeleteI refuse to admit to things similar to what you've outlined in the second half of your comment.
...because STUBBORN. ;)
I still buy CDs! It's kind of like reading books as opposed to using a Kindle. I want to actually HOLD the CD in my hands and read the booklet cover thing, and slide it into the slot ... ... I'm more of a tactile person, you could say? :D
ReplyDeleteYou're right, it is sort of like boycotting the e-reader trend.
DeleteNothing wrong with being tactile, tactile is sexy ;)
You're too funny and crazy lol gosh I have no clue how many CD's I have lost over the years, and how many empty CD cases I have!
ReplyDeleteyeah.... I'm scared to count them!
DeleteI always put things back in the right case, unless of course it isn't my disc so I don't really care and might just not even put it in a case.
ReplyDeletehahaa, you're my kind of girl.
DeleteHaha, my brother always does the exact same thing with CDs.
