My cousin called me asking if he had left his Zune car charger in my car. He was missing it and he knew he was going to be in big trouble if he didn’t find it. It was reasonably new and he had been told that he had better take care of it. You see, he is not the most responsible person in the world.

Not wanting him to get into trouble, I offered to loan him my Zune travel charger until he found his. I told him that his mom would not know the difference, but she would certainly notice if he came home without either.

It was kind of funny because she ended up buying him a new Zune dock cable to reward him for taking such good car of his things. He never did find his charger, but he ordered a new one without her ever finding out.
