We do not have a TV in our home for almost two years now so believe or not, we have not watched any American Idol, Lost or Grey’s Anatomy. We do, however, rent or buy DVD’s to watch and see the news in streaming videos. We listen to the radio for news flash.

Last week, we borrowed three DVD’s: High School Musical, Superman Returns and Pirates of the Carribean 3. The babe loved the first two and we stopped seeing the Pirates movie just three seconds after the hanging scene. I was excited to see the pirates movie but it is not kid friendly so I had to wait for the kid to sleep. She loved High School Musical so much that  she requested for it over and over again. We had been watching those song clips in youtube and seeing the real thing was really different! She had been smiling from ear to ear after each showing until it was time to return the DVD.

She asked repeatedly, “Why return, mom? Why?” I explained that because we just rented it and it does not belong to us. “But I liked it! Why?”

We took her to the DVD shop (we did not bring her when we rented it) and showed her how people do it. There were people renting and returning. She finally understood and handed the dvd’s to the counter lady saying, “Thank you!”

We learned a lesson today. If we feel that she’s going to really like a movie — particular would be favorites are musicals or any movie with lots of singing and/or dancing, we are going to buy it to add to her collection. She likes singing a lot she would prefer to watch The Sound of Music, The Little Mermaid over Tom and Jerry(we don’t let her watch this, I think this has some violent scenes) anytime.
