prince caspian just got personal

i finally got a real glimpse into parenthood.
yeah, i've babysat and had that fake baby in FAQS class, but i got my first real glimpse to what it is like to be a parent during the holidays.
having to find that one gift for your child, because if you can't find it and it isn't under the tree on christmas the spirit of christmas is for ever lost in that childs eyes.
well, i am not a parent and no i do not have a child, but every christmas my mother buys a family movie for, well, the family, and this year it was, 'cronicles of narnia: prince caspian.'
i decided to open the movie early this year because i really wanted to watch it, but while i was watching it, i had a feeling something was wrong.
i hadn't seen the movie since this summer when i saw it in theaters, so my mind was a little rusty when i started to watch.
i realized the scenes were backwards.
now, i could be wrong, and i am just not remembering correctly, but i am 98% positive, there was something wrong with the disc.
i take the dvd back to target for an exchange and all they have are blue-ray caspians...two to be exact, and i'm like, 'okay, no big deal i wil just go to another one.'
i go to the targt on stateline and they have zero dvds, but they have blue-ray...two to be exact, so the emloyee gave me the number for the ward parkway target, and the lady said they are out of prince caspian dvds, but have a couple of blue-rays.
doesn't 'a couple' mean two?
three targets down, and zero dvds for prince caspian, it has now gotten personal.
i will find you prince caspian, mark my words.
