Someone in our house seldom remembers to put the CDs back in their case. Someone pops a CD in, listens to it, starts thinking about another CD, pops the first one out and sets it on top of the stereo, then pops the second one in. Someone always intends to go back and put the first one into its case — which is seldom conveniently left out next to the stereo since someone hates clutter — but almost never remembers to do so. So, someone’s CDs are quite often scratched and rendered useless.

I plead the Fifth.

The Big-Eyed Boy rarely remembers to put his CDs away, either. We have a collection of brightly-decorated but unlistenable children’s CDs now serving as juice box coasters. We call it recycling.

Now that I know the trick to using toothpaste to get scratches out of CDs, I may have to buy real coasters instead.
