Ahh, Netflix, one of my many love affairs. I remember when it first came out, I kept bugging my mom to sign up for it instead of renting a movie every time we wanted to watch something. I kept trying to point out how cheap it was compared to our current price bill at the movie rental shop. She wasn't buying it: "Ash, I'm not getting it. It's a waste of money for one movie a month." Her excuse made no sense to me seeing as we already did keep movies from the rental shop for months at a time and our bill would add up to almost $20 every time... for one movie... $9 a month was too much? What on earth was she talking about?!
After years of persuasion and and intellectual arguments on why we should get it, I got her like a used car salesman gets a dimwitted buyer; she was sold. No, I did not just call my mom dimwitted, I was merely trying to create a creative simile, but failed. Epically.... Anyways, I won. She signed up for it, but it took her another year to do so. In the end, she has fallen in love with it, so has my dad. I was already in love when I first saw the commercial. Who says "love at first sight" isn't real?
