I took the anniversary edition of Mary Poppins up to her place to watch on Easter. I had forgotten how long it was, and I had to leave before the third hour was up. So I told her I would get it the next time I came up.
Keep in mind that this is her first DVD player, which I installed at Christmas and she has only used once without me. I had to write down everything for her (press power on the DVD remote, press power on the VCR remote, put the TV on channel 3, press TV/VCR on the VCR remote, press Line on the VCR remote until it says L1 on the TV, etc. -- It's hard enough for me to remember, and she's 79!)
So the next day, I called her and asked if she finished the movie.
She: Yes.
Me: Did you have any trouble getting your TV back in order?
She: No. I even rewound the movie for you.
Me: You what?
She: I rewound the movie when it got to the end.
Me: You mean you hit the rewind button on the DVD remote?
She: Yes.
Me: What happened?
She: The movie rewound. You know, I could see it moving backwards as it rewound. I've never seen that before.
Me: You rewound the DVD?
She: Yes.
Me: How long did it take?
She: Almost two hours.
Me: What did you do in the meantime?
She: I went and watched TV in the bedroom. I came out and checked on it now and then to see if it was still rewinding.
Me: You don't need to rewind a DVD. It's random access.
She: It's what?
Me: Nevermind. From now on, just eject it when you're done.
