Back story: I ordered a black leather case for my Kindle 2 right after I received it for Christmas. A few weeks later, a case for the huge 9 inch screen Kindle arrived. (that Kindle wasn’t even available in Canada at that time, but the order was my mistake. I just assumed I had a 9″ screen and didn’t measure. Apparently mine is 6″.) I emailed the company to ask for an exchange and though they were painfully slow with their email and perhaps ESL, there was no problem making the exchange. They were going to ship me the correct one free of charge and I could return the old one in that packaging.

Scene: We’re at the mailbox on the way home from work. I check the mail and hop back into the van with the kids with some mail and a parcel.

Mommy: Look Bud! My new Kindle case is finally here!

Primo: That’s too big. It won’t fit. The whole package is too big for your Kindle.

Mommy: I dunno. They were supposed to send me a new one that fit this time so it should be smaller.

Primo: It’s not. It’s too big.

An hour or so passes. We get home, have snack, and I start unpacking our bags from the day. I spot the parcel in my bag so I open it.

Mommy: You were right! This is exactly the same wrong one that they sent me last time.

Primo: Well, Mom. I AM always correct.

Well, duh.
