Okay? What Was I Thinking??

Earl told me the other day that this guy at work had a stereo that him and his wife hadn't used in about 5 years and wanted to know if we wanted it so Jace could listen to music. Earl said the guy said it was a really nice stereo. So sure, why not.

A few days later Earl brings home the stereo. He starts bringing in all these pieces and the speakers look nice...there about 3 1/2 feet tall and solid. Then the kids start asking questions. Mom do you have any of those old things that go around and play music? My response with a chuckle was, "Uh, no!" I thought it was kinda cool that it had a turn table though. Then I hear Earl telling the kids, "Oh, that's an 8 track player." I'm like, "An 8 track player??? Who has 8 tracks anymore and how is this stereo going to be any good to us????" Earl's reply is, "Well, it has a cassette player too!"

Oh, silly me.......and who has cassettes sitting around still? Oh, that's right....we do.

I ask Earl this morning if he was going to set the stereo up? He was like, "You want me to hook the dryer up (it's been sitting on the back porch for over a month now) and the stereo both this weekend?"

What was I thinking????
