I must have said it wrong...

Okay, it's been a while since I've had a funny story to tell, but I had to laugh yesterday, so I must share. I've been trying to find a copy of the movie Mrs Doubtfire for Anastasia to watch. She's never seen it, and some movies just have to we watched. Also, she had never seen The Wizard of Oz, and that's just wrong, so I was looking for that one too. Throughout the last two months I've been asking around for them, but for some reason, they were impossible to find! Well, I had finished doing updos for a bridal party on Saturday, and I knew Kelly was working all night, so I really wanted to find these flicks for the kiddo and have a girly movie night with her and Alicia. I went to one rental place, and they didn't have them, but the kind girl did phone around for me and actually found both in another nearby store! So off I went to get these gems. I got to the store and spoke with the young man at the counter about how happy I was to find the movies finally. Just as he was about to ring them through, I said casually, "Actually, before you ring them through, I think I'll look for an adult movie to watch after the kids go to bed." The boy on the other side of the counter was clearly trying to compose himself and politely replied, (blood flushing into his face,) "I'm sorry mam, we don't have an adult section anymore." I quickly realised what he was talking about and answered, "When I said "adult movie" I only meant "grown up movie," not triple X!" and his coworker burst out laughing at the poor lad. He became even redder as I explained jokingly that, though I am comfortable with myself, I wouldn't casually walk into Rogers Video to pick up two kids movies and a porno! LOL After finding a decent chick flick, I thanked him for giving me the best laugh of the day and left him standing there to recover from his embarrassment. I giggled all the way home. Tee hee...Poor kid...

Ha Ha! Don't you just love it when you finally have a funny story to tell, and, for once, you're not the butt of the joke!

P.S. Both of those movies are absolute must-sees. Good call.

That's just too funny. Funny how you can inadvertently say the right thing that comes out wrong in another's mind. Whew was that comment deep or what? Good selection of movies for the girls...not sure what the ADULT movie was. lol
