Update On my Past Two Days

So I had some books to return to Chapters the other day that I accidentally ordered in duplicate.  So I packed them up and off I went to return them. 

Me:  I need to return these books because I already HAVE them, so I don't need them.  I mean they're great books and everything, Lord knows I've read them to simply pieces, but I just don't need extra copies, you know?  Like I don't know what I was thinking when I double ordered.  They must have been in my online cart and I didn't notice or something.  I should totally be more careful, eh?

Chapters Cashier:  These were ordered from Amazon.com.  I'm afraid that you can't return them to Chapters.

Me:  Uh.  Right.  Chapters.  *expletives*.  Heh... this store isn't Amazon.com.


Chapters Cashier:  *stares blankly*

Me: *strokes beard contemplatively* So I'm going to have to... mail them back to Amazon.com?  Like.. I have to go to the post office?? 

CC:  That would be correct.

Me:  Riiiight... riiight for sure, for sure... but couldn't you just... take them and give me my money back?

CC:  This is the wrong store, I'm afraid not. 

Me:  Yes of course it is.  I know that.  But couldn't you just, you know.... take the books and give me a return anyway?

CC:  No.  We can't.  It's policy.  And ridiculous.

Me:  Oh I see.  It's policy.  But aren't policies more like just general behavioral guidelines?  I mean you could just take these books and give me a return....  I'm sure you just explain it all to your boss.  Hilarious right?  Returning Books to the wrong store?  So how about that return now?  Easy Peasy.  Amiright?

CC.  No, you are not right. 

Me:  Eh?  *eyebrow waggle*

CC:  .

Me:  *chest shimmy plus eyebrow waggle*  Eh?  A Return for me from you?

CC:   ~Security to the cashier please~

Me:  *does the Charleston with jazzhands down the cashier line and out the door with toddler who is also doing the Charleston with jazzhands for effect, although obviously not as well because she does not have the same amount of experience as I do at this.* 

So i guess I'm going to the post office.  Ugh. 



But then today, my kid's teacher told me that not only is he doing really well but that I, Readers, that I look like I'm 22.  Maybe she was a little sweet on me, who knows?  All I know is that I had to come straight home and take pictures of myself for fifteen minutes.  That school rocks.  I totally look 10 years younger than I am.  Shut up I do too.  Just check these puppies out:

Right?  Amazing. 

Now go here and read my review of Twilight.  Yeah.  That's right.  TWILIGHT.
