Blogs are like assholes. Everyone has one and most of them are full of shit.

Mom:
So explain this new rentals thing to me. I don't get it, do I burn something onto my iTunes?
-
Me:
What? No, you download a digital movie and you can watch it on your computer or your new iPod.
-
Mom:
And then after I watch it what do I do with it?
-
Me:
You don't do anything. After 30 days it gets deleted.
-
Mom:
Deleted?! Why?! I bought it!
-
Me:
Its a rental. You rented the movie.
-
Mom:
But I have 30 days to watch it.
-
Me:
Yes. Well, you have 30 days to start watching it. Then you have 24 hours to finish watching it.
-
Mom:
What happens after 24 hours?
-
Me:
The rental is deleted from your iPod.
-
Mom:
What?! But its my iPod! Who deletes it?
-
Me:
Well, technically I delete it. I wrote that code.
-
Mom:
You?! But I am your mother! Can't you do something special for me?
-
Me:
Um ...
-
Mom:
So you are telling me if I don't finish watching the movie within 24 hours you come into my house and delete it from my iPod?
-
Me:
That's not really how it works. I don't climb through your window wearing a ski mask.
-
Mom:
I carried you for nine months and you repay me by deleting my movies? Is this what you learned in college? They actually pay you for this?
-
Me:
I cherish these phone calls. I really do.
